Comment (by rudolfc):

 Hi there,

 Just checked that your card is indeed recognized by the driver (ID's are
 in the syslog). This is true.

 That would mean that the following solution should work for you:

 hrev49984 added a new nv.settings settings file setting called
 'check_edid'. Set this setting to false to block the driver from
 preventing higher resolution modes from appearing in the ScreenPrefs app.
 This overcomes the problem of only being able to use low-res modes.

 Be carefull not to use too high resolution modes though, as your monitor
 will not like that...

 Closing ticket.

 Bye!

 Rudolf.
