>From this I infer that the monitor's native resolution is being properly
detected, but no matching mode is available.
Steve, from your earlier comment I understand that my options are as
follows:
1. upgrade the BIOS in an attempt to address the possible BIOS bug
2. switch to "the native nouveau driver"
Sadly though, I do not know at this stage how to do either. Off to
Google!
