Thanks Alan,
Here's what I get with that ...
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NoDDC"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "1024x768 +0+0"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNon60HzDFPModes,
NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using HW cursor
(**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration
(==) NVIDIA(0): Video key set to default value of 0x101fe
(**) NVIDIA(0): Using HorizSync/VertRefresh ranges from the EDID has been
(**) NVIDIA(0): disabled on all display devices.
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(WW) NVIDIA(0): The IgnoreEDID and NoDDC options have been deprecated. The
(WW) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA X driver makes use of a display device's EDID
(WW) NVIDIA(0): during construction of its modePool. It is recommended
(WW) NVIDIA(0): that you allow the X driver to make use of any available
(WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID. If, however, you know what you are doing and have
(WW) NVIDIA(0): good reason to do so, you can disable the X driver's use
(WW) NVIDIA(0): of EDIDs by setting the "UseEDID" X configuration option
(WW) NVIDIA(0): to FALSE; e.g.,
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Note that, rather than globally disable all uses of the
EDID,
(WW) NVIDIA(0): you can individually disable each particular use of the
(WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID; e.g.,
(WW) NVIDIA(0):
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "FALSE"
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
(WW) NVIDIA(0):

details on
(WW) NVIDIA(0): each of these options.
