forcing a specific resolution with the nVidia driver

Any one have any luck forcing a specific resolution as one of the two monitor, both the same, does not detect properly because of a IPKVM switch in the middle. It only detects as supporting up to 1600x1200, when it is really capable of 1920x1080. Below are the two relevant sections from my Xorg config.

Any one have any suggestions on what to try next?


Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
        
        HorizSync  31-60
        VertRefresh 55-120
        
        # 1920x1080 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 67.08 kHz; pclk: 172.80 MHz
        Modeline "1920x1080_60.00"  172.80  1920 2040 2248 2576  1080 1081 1084 1118  -HSync +Vsync

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nvidia"

        BusID       "PCI:8:0:0"

        Option "TwinView"
        Option "TwinViewOrientation"      "LeftOf"
        Option "MetaModes"                "1960x1080_60,1960x1080_60"
        Option "UseEdid" "FALSE"

EndSection
