Thanks Joe, that was a smack the forehead one. It was just adding the modeline keyword at the front of the line that fixed it. I will definately add it to the database when I get it working right. Right now it locks the entire system up when I try to look at video. I have to do a hard power off to get it back up. I think I am going to try the new nvidia drivers and see if that helps. Do you have any suggestions and thanks for the quick response.
