That monitor does not report its capabilities properly.. It is .1 off. :)

Here are the lines from my xorg.conf file that make the differences:

Section "Monitor"

        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1920x1200"
 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
        HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
        VertRefresh  60.0 - 60.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        Option      "ModeValidation" "NoMaxPClkCheck"
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1920x1200" "1680x1050" "1280x800"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

That should do it.
The only trick is the NoMaxPClkCheck entry.

This works on mine with the nvidia and nv drivers.
