Ben

I have the Viewsonic 22 inch and had to make xorg.conf have this:
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1600x1200"
        HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
        VertRefresh  59.9 - 60.1
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nv"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth    24
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                ViewPort   0 0
                Depth   16
               modes "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050" "1200x1024"
"1200x960" "1200x800" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Hope this helps, this is all I did, set your selected desire.
