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. May be a hardware problem after all...
