Help with NV driver - More information

I just noticed that if I connect the DVI cable to the second DVI port and
reboot the machine, when I start X it loads a screen full of garble (tons of
lines going everywhere) but when I check the monitors diag, it says it is at
1600x1200 70h 60v....

Is anyone else using a Geforce ti 4600 Gainward Golden Sample (The only dual
DVI geforce I know of)?

    Hi,
 
        I'm having difficulty getting the nv driver to work properly on my
FreeBSD 5.1 box. Recently, the nvidia driver started causing my kernel to
crash consistently, so I decided to move to the non-glx enabled NV driver.
Whenever that driver starts using the SAME config as the one used for the
nvidia driver, the screen goes blank with "unsupported resolution" but you
can hear the gui initializing in the background. I'm using the DVI port on
the Geforce (it has dual DVI), and I know for a fact that the horizontal and
vertical refresh rates are to the spec (74.9, 59.9 respectively).
