BTW, my display is a Rosewill R943J LCD (without EDID). And I'm using its DVI connector.
Any ideas?
the desired resolution should be 1280x1020 (19 inch). Your X config needs a modeline for that resolution.
Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and verify that valid modelines are present. Your driver is built from a shell script? or did you grab an RPM.
Get a root prompt and type #nvidia-<tab>
play around with any nvidia-settings
