The logs are now here

http://www.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk/~jonesc/Xorg.log.nv
http://www.hep.phy.cam.ac.uk/~jonesc/Xorg.log.nvidia

for the nv and nvidia drivers respectively.

I'm no expert, so will defer to your expert opinion, but it seems to me that 
nv correctly identifies my monitor,

(II) NV(0): Monitor name: HM903D/DT

( which is a vision master pro 454, 19in)

and goes on to list the correct modes. 1600x1200, which is the mode I want is 
properly found and configured to run at 85Hz.

On the contary, the nvidia driver does no seem to do so well. 
and seems to decide my screen is only 800x600 and that most modes are out of 
freq range.
