A further update. I have connected a different monitor to my system (an
older Dell 19" CRT D1226H) and it works fine. The xserver-xorg-video-nv
detects it correctly and allows me to choose resolutions up to
1600x1200.

I attached the original M993c to another computer (running WinXP) and
while it was quite happy to use it at 1600x1200 it was unable to detect
the EDID data. So it looks like my monitor has a dead EDID chip.

This means that the portion of my bug report about the nv driver +
GeForce4 Ti 4200  being unable to detect my monitor is incorrect.

The other part about unidentified monitor not being able to be
configured for larger screen resolutions remains.

P.S. Interestingly, the nvidia proprietary driver also identifies the
D1226H but can only drive it at up to 1024x768...
