I had a 5200 in my desktop for a while, and nv refused to run at 1600x1200 on my Dell 2001FP which reports a 162MHz clock. The radeon driver also just works, and doesn't care. This monitor has its own quirk, where it reports its size incorrectly (off by 4mm or so) which causes X to calculate a non-square dpi (98x99 or something). This is easily fixed by forcing the display size.. Drew
