(--) NVIDIA(0): H/V Polarity : -/-

Try adding the following to the Device section of xorg.conf:
Option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck"

It helped! X started with resolution 1680x1050 with vert refresh rate 50Hz. Do you know when driver update is supposed to come out that will fix the refresh rate?
Thanks a lot!

igorte,
The refresh rate probably isn't actually 50 Hz. What does "nvidia-settings -q RefreshRate" say?

Hi AaronP,
You are right: nvidia-settings shows 61Hz.
Thanks a lot!
