Both modelines are valid according to this?
Yes, they're probably the 70Hz and 75Hz lines. On rereading your original message, you might not have a modeline that will provide 1024x768 at 85Hz.
Use the ModeLine generator script[0] at to generate a valid 1024x768 at 85Hz mode, add that to the X configuration file, restart X, and see how you go. Keep an eye on the log to make sure the mode line isn't dropped as an invalid mode for your monitor.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1024x768"
But which modeline?
You can change the name of the modeline to include the refresh rate--it makes it a little easier to understand what's going on.
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "576x384":
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (589) not a multiple of 8
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "360x200":
(WW) NVIDIA(0): horizontal sync start (378) not a multiple of 8
That's fine for now.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using ConnectedMonitor string "DFP-0, DFP-1"
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Inappropriate ConnectedMonitor string.
Check your X configuration for a ConnectedMonitor entry, and try changing it to something valid (check the man pages) if you find it.

Thanks Matthew,
Making progress now. I presumed (incorrectly) that the first value was the refresh rate but it is in fact the dot clock frequency. I now have it running at 85 Hz vert refresh but the screen size is not full screen, but I am working on that.
Modeline "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 100.94 1024 1056 1432 1464 768 782 793 807
Possibly it will even be that 75 Hz refresh is the most stable?
Cheers,
Craig
