Help getting 640x480 and 800x600 resolution on Proprietary Nvidia Driv

Ok. So I want to somehow obtain the modes 640x480 and 800x600 for my laptop. The monitor CAN do these modes - it works under Windows XP and the opensource xf86-video-nv drivers.

But the closed source nvidia drivers doesn't show these modes...  All I can choose from is

"1440x900" "1280x800" "1280x768" "1024x768" "640x400" (... so close and yet so far) "640x384" "512x384"

I also added to my xorg.conf these configurations

    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes     "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection

and here is /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Any help is appreciated.
