I'll bet if you look in your log file (probably /var/log/Xorg.0.log),
you'll see something like:
Not using mode "1280x720" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(or some other reason in parens). If so, you'll probably have to tell
X, "trust me" by telling the NVIDIA driver to ignore more of the EDID
than just the DPI data.
Despite the name, the NVIDIA configuration information at
http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Q:_All_my_fonts_look_like_they_are_the_wrong_sizes.2C_how_can_I_correct_this.3F
could help (once you figure out what's causing the issue by looking at
your logs).
