Using the vesa driver worked - I am able to get 1024x768, though the
fonts are a little weird.  I tried to use the modeline from the vesa
driver with nv, but it didn't work.  If the nv driver is part of the
problem, I will try the native nVidia driver and see how that works.
I've been shutting down and restarting X everytime I try something.  I
made a xorg.conf with the vesa selected by running xorgconfig. Ill try
the native driver and see what happens.

thanks for all the help so far!
