the desired resolution should be 1280x1020 (19 inch). Your X config needs a modeline for that resolution.
Thanks, Mark, but the mode line was there. Apparently there are two problems (I finally got a clue in the xorg log file):
1. The R913J (not R943J) digital mode seems not to be compatible with the Nvidia drivers for some reason.
2. I was using startx to test as I was used to doing in the old days. The log file mentioned lost contact with gdm so I entered "gdm" instead of "startx" and got the desired resolution!
Now I have another problem: somehow in my putzing around the monitor has taken on a blue hue both in the startup vga mode and the full-up Nvidia X mode. Any ideas about that?
I haven't done a hard reboot yet and hope that clears it up--but I'm putting that off until tomorrow morning.
