It's the NVIDIA module... you have to set... ummm "IgnoreEDID" to "True" in order to override the modes it detected
Solved, I needed it set to false. I had it on true to get 1400x1050 out of my old monitor, put it back on false and now it starts at a nice and readable. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

I don't bother with refresh rates:

EndSection
...and here is the whole file in for any other relevant bits. The refresh rates are just the default ones that hwd gives, I'm not actually sure of the ones for my monitor off hand but these seem to work alright. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
