No, binary driver works fine without any extra settings. The version I 
used was 173.14.22. With nouveau drivers I'm forced to use the following

Modeline "1600x1200_def" 144  1600 1628 1788 1920  1200 1201 1204 1250

Without it the displays (both) are blinking. Remember that binary nvidia 
claims that the MaxPixClk is 135MHz and nouveau says that it is 175MHz. 
According to the spec it should be 162MHz. I'm not sure but I think that 
this high rate works only with D-SUB. Actually I have 3 monitors and the 
third one is connected with the ancient Matrox Millennium II card using 
the D-SUB cable and it uses the modeline with the 162MHz PixClk.

PS. By the way - I was force to install Win7 and it works with my LCD 
without any drivers installed.
