I cannot get Xorg to display to my panny L500U. The console displays (with some overscan). Xorg starts (can listen to KDE startup tune), but screen remains blue. Relevant xorg.conf settings, including various modelines I've tried, are:

I actually have another Monitor and Screen section for use with my LCD, which is the default section. However to try using the panny I use "startx -- -screen Projector"
In Xorg.0.log nvidia seems happy with the setup:
...
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Failure reading EDID parameters for display device CRT-0
(II) NVIDIA(0): Panasonic: Using hsync range of 30.00-70.00 kHz
(II) NVIDIA(0): Panasonic: Using vrefresh range of 50.00-87.00 Hz
(II) NVIDIA(0): Clock range: 12.00 to 400.00 MHz
... lots of modes that it cannot use, none of which are 1280x720
(**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for display device CRT-0:
(**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "[email protected]": 89.0 MHz, 54.0 kHz, 72.0 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "832x624": 57.3 MHz, 49.7 kHz, 74.6 Hz
... a number of other "valid" modes but, for example, 800x600 also does not display
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 720
(==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
... rest of startup is ok
Any help? I would assume it is a modeline issue, but two of the ones I tried came from the XFree86 web page that calcs modelines, and one of them had a poster somewhere saying it worked with his AE500 (is the same model, no?)
