[mythtv-users] Powerstrip modeline not working

How can I tell which driver is being used?

The xorg.conf got recreated from scratch as the old one wouldn't work
after I upgarded to a newer kernel and nvidia modules. I'm now on
9746. I edited xorg.conf so that it says:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1366x768_60" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

But the only resolutions that are available are "800x600" & "640x480".
I get this in my log Xorg.0.log:

(II) VESA(0): Total Memory: 2048 64KB banks (131072kB)
(II) VESA(0): Monitor0: Using hsync range of 31.50-37.90 kHz
(II) VESA(0): Monitor0: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-70.00 Hz
(II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1366x768_60" (no mode of this name)
(--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 800x600 (pitch 800)
(**) VESA(0): *Built-in mode "800x600"
(**) VESA(0): *Built-in mode "640x480"
(==) VESA(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "800x600" (114)
(II) VESA(0): Attempting to use 60Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (111)
(**) VESA(0): Using "Shadow Framebuffer"

How come it doesn't like 1366x768_60?
