302.17, X Server 1.12.1.902, No valid modes for "DFP-0:1680x1050"; removing

Hello,

I recently upgrade my Debian testing and as a result I got the latest official nvidia driver 302.17.

The problem faced now is that with the new driver, it fails to detect any kind of valid mode for my monitor (connected through HDMI) apart from the 800x600.

My xorg.conf file contains the following:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       28.0 - 33.0
    VertRefresh     43.0 - 72.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Video Card"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "Video Card"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1680x1050" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

This configuration was created using nvidia-xconfig and I just modified the Modes lines just in case there was any problem with the nvidia-auto-select value.

Now, after starting the X server these are the relevant messages in the Xorg.0.log file:

Is there any chance to get any help on this?
