Oh dear,

It's getting worse! ;-)
I can still see the EDID etc options in there, can you remove them?
So:


Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "BenQ W100"
       #Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNon60HzDFPModes"
       #Option "ModeValidation" "NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
       #Option "DDC" "False"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
    Driver         "nvidia"
        Option      "NoDDC"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
    Monitor        "BenQ W100"
    DefaultDepth       24
       Subsection "Display"
               Depth       24
               Modes       "1024x768_70" "1024x768_60" "1024x768"
"800x600_70" "800x600_60" "800x600"
       EndSubsection
EndSection


Oh and use startx -- -logverbose 255                (The 255 give's lots
more useful info!).

Cheers

Steve
