Well, NVidia opensource drivers are know for reliability, that excludes a weird driver/device configuration, VESA or NV, both drivers should work OK. Holly's theory, "That certainly would explain things, but how broken would autodetection then be (or the monitor's EDID?? support) if it couldn't even detect/report its own Vsync range?" Its my best bet by now. I would try another monitor and see what happens.
