Ah! Well, I realized I missed something reading the man pages about
xrandr and what I need to do is this, but it also fails:

You can only addmode after newmode.
I would expect a monitor to have it's native resolution in edid. Maybe
you only have a single link dvi (which lacks the bandwith for your
native resolution)?

Right. I did them in the correct order (well, once I realized my
mistake) to get the error message from my last message.
I would expect a monitor to have it's native resolution in
xf86-video-nv which i guess you're using doesn't unconditionally
support dual link dvi. Some bios'es don't init it appearantly.
There is an option to force it, but you could end up with a blank screen.
Option AllowDualLinkModes

Hi all: I'm having some trouble getting my apple cinema displays to
run properly. I have two of them, a 23 one (DVI0) and a 30 one
(DVI1). here's the output from xrandr:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3200 x 1200, maximum 4480 x 1600
VGA1 disconnected
DVI0 connected 1920x1200+0+0 495mm
