Ok found a possible solution...
I will see if that works when i go home this afternoon :-DAfter consulting the /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA*/README file again, I noticed that NVIDIA's drivers on laptops read the EDID data from a non-standard location and they allowed an option to override it. Following their laptop directions I was able to get all modes working. This was done by modifying the /etc/modules.conf file and adding the following line:
options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0

Usually these settings will work. If you are trying newer 5x.xx drivers they may not work in general. But as it goes:
SoftEDIDs=0
Mobile=2 or 4 (depending on the type of Toshiba)
This page might lead you down the right track:

Barring resolution size and laptop of course and Linux flavor.
