Well...at least we seem to be looking in the same places... :-)

If you have already searched the FC list archives, you might want to try
posting over at the nVidia Linux forums:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

Another place to check would be at the Dell Linux Forums:

Again, from what I can tell, it appears that the modeline specs are the
ticklish part of the process, so hopefully someone with a successful
experience will have some insight.
