Hello. My problem is somewhat odd. Let me start with hardware details:
Intel 845G
Pentium4 2.8HT
Nvidia GF4 MX 4000
Samsung Series 5 500 46" LCD model# LN46A500T1F
The connection is the standard 15 pin vga (I intend to get HDMI when I get my new video card, both waiting til next year when I might be able to add a mo.bo. to the list.)
I have OpenSuse 11 installed, and nvidia drivers version 96.43.07
For some reason, I can't get it to reliably display 1080p.
From the instruction manual, this is a supported resolution.
Res. 1920x1080
Horiz.Freq. 66.587
Vert.Freg. 59.934
PixelClock 138.500
Sync Polarity(h/v) +/-
Now, lemme throw my xorg.conf:

You will note all the commented out things in Device. Those were all added to try and make this work again. I say again, because, for some reason, I've had this TV running at 1920x1080 for 2 weeks with this xorg file. Unfortunately, I am at a loss for how to resolve it, but blame the nvidia drivers, I think.
Some background: I bought the TV on black friday, and spent the weekend messing with my xorg and google trying to get the darned thing working at anything other than 4x3 resolutions (it would come up at 1024x768 and 1600x1200, etc but no 1080p) and I did a bunch of modeline searches, and got a somewhat basic idea of how the modeline works. So after hours of init 3, vi xorg.conf, init 5... I got it to display. It looked good, fit the screen perfectly, and that's the modeline that's uncommented above. However, after rebooting, the machine won't go back to that resolution. Last week it was as simple as logging in via ssh and init 3 init5, and it came up. Not sure why this is.
Anyway, so, this morning we lost power for like less than a second (I REALLY need to invest in a couple decent UPS systems, but that's another subject) but it was enough to kill everything. I restarted the computer, and it came up at 1024x768@60hz. Now, I can't seem to get it to display anything else.
My entire Xorg.0.log won't fit in this post, and likely won't be useful, but this in particular seems to be my big problem:

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to resolve it. Can someone take a look? Thanks!
