Adding xrandr1.2 modes via the commandline was not yet supported in 302.17, it seems it's still not supported, maybe it'll be there eventually. But why do you want to add 800x600, it's already there if apps want to use it.
the applications (wine games) don't auto change resolutions like they use to.
If you're actually using the beta, wine should work, that's the main difference between 302 and 304. Unless wine-1.5.9's switch to xrandr1.2 screwed things up again. Older wine versions will work.

cvt 800 600 60
# 800x600 59.86 Hz (CVT 0.48M3) hsync: 37.35 kHz; pclk: 38.25 MHz

and still get this
xrandr --addmode LVDS-0 800x600_60.00

am i doing it wrong or do i need to looking into makeing a new xorg.conf?
Thank you again.
edit:
ok got the other resolutions working using this:
Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1920x1080}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1680x1050}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1600x1200}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1440x900}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1400x1050}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1280x1024}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1280x960}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1280x800}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1152x864}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=1024x768}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=832x624}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=800x600}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=700x525}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=640x480}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=512x384}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=400x300}; nvidia-auto-select {ViewPortIn=320x240}"
the applications (wine games) don't auto change resolutions like they use to. Is this normal or is there still a setting i'm missing somewhere
]]>xrandr --q1
Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: 1280x720 { ViewPortOut=1240x680+20+20, ViewPortIn=1280x720 }"
options like this to no outcome. i also tried the instructions here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144545, again with no result. I have seen many recommend going to nvnews.net, but it wants a password for me, and wont let me register. here is the link they recommend http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=184711 & http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=184968. I currenly have no xorg.conf. current xrandr output is :

DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

v: height 768 start 771 end 775 total 798 clock 59.9Hz
i tried adding 1024x768_60 with the output from cvt, but when i addmode i get this
xrandr --addmode LVDS-0 1024x768_60.00
