The monitor is OK as it's attached via a KVM switch to another machine - also with an nVidia card - and it displays perfectly on that.

Sometime the OS can't "read" the monitor properly and doesn't set it up accordingly. Try connecting the monitor directly to your KVM-switch and let the OS rescan it. After, connect it back to the switch. Or just force the correct resolution.

HTH.

I've copied the xorg.conf from the working system to the failing one, and got the same result.

Thanks for the tips on the KVM - it hadn't occurred to me that it could be a problem. When I can get to rip the place up, I'll attach the monitor directly to the machine and see if that solves it.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.
