Does the 1600x1200 mode appear in nvidia-settings
(Display Configuration -> Resolution)?
According to the Xorg log file, the 1600x1200 mode validated but
does not get added to the XRandR/XF86VidMode list. 1600x1200
may be clipped because the virtual screen size is set to 1024x768.
According to the xorg.conf man page for the Virtual option:
Video
modes which are too large for the specified virtual
size will be rejected.
What happens when you explicitly set the virtual desktop size
to 1600x1200 with the Virtual option?
