This may also be a problem of the graphics driver. What does your Xorg.0.log say about display size? The nv driver will ignore your panel size specification if it thinks it is wrong. This may happen if the driver does not read the EDID information of the monitor correctly. For me, using the closed-source driver from NVIDIA helped. On Mon, 13 Mar 2006, Hans-Joachim Ehlers wrote:
With an IBM graphic card we had an similar issue that with DVI the maximum resolution was lower then as with analog (VGA) So you might check the handbook fom your Graphic card to insure that it really able to to use certain resolution using the DVI.

i have a problem with a few workstations over here. The workstations have Nvidia Quadro FX 540 graphix cards, and Dell 1905FP LCD Displays. I setup everything in my autoyast installation. Here is how:
<color_depth config:type="integer">16</color_depth> <configure_x11 config:type="boolean">true</configure_x11> <display_manager>kdm</display_manager> <enable_3d config:type="boolean">true</enable_3d> <monitor> <display> <frequency config:type="integer">60</frequency> <height config:type="integer">1024</height> <max_hsync config:type="integer">82</max_hsync> <max_vsync config:type="integer">62</max_vsync> <min_hsync config:type="integer">31</min_hsync> <min_vsync config:type="integer">58</min_vsync> <width config:type="integer">1280</width> </display> <monitor_device>1280X1024@60HZ</monitor_device> <monitor_vendor>--> LCD</monitor_vendor> </monitor> <resolution>1280x1024</resolution> <window_manager>kde</window_manager> </x11>
If i use a Analog Cable VGA Cable everything works ok. The workstation comes up with 1280x1024, but if i use a Digital DVI Cable, it comes up with 1024x768. I can do what i want it doesnt work. Any suggestions or tips?
