Yeah, and you can add this to the Device section for your Nvidia card to
get 1080p while your waiting on your 6200:
Option "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck, NoEdidMaxPClkCheck"

I drive a Sceptre 1080p LCD with a FX5200 with that line, and all seems
okay.  I may upgrade to a 6XXX or 7XXX series card at some point, but
this seems to work for now.  Hopefully I'm not damaging anything ;)  For
