OK, I had the same problem, and got an answer off the list.
Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was, but I think it was in my
XF86Config, so this is the only thing I found that looks odd, for what
it's worth.  Where my card is defined, I have the following -

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "gforce2"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    Option      "IgnoreEDID" "1"
EndSection

I thought the "IgnoreEDID" "1" was unusual.  that may do the trick.
