No, that don't work for me. Specifying a bigger mode than the display
driver can handle can only give me a "virtual" desktop size, i.e., I need
to *pan* to reach every corner, which I don't like. Moreover, the wrong
resolution is damaging my monitor -- 2 days later the pixels started to
be "blowing" rightward.

Yes, I am. Note that what I added is the correct "Modeline", telling nv
driver how to handle such situation, which is used to be the common
practice when X can't do the automatic detection before (10 years ago?).
