Yes, I realized that since 256.xx some of the bugs are indeed fixed, that was one of the resons why I updated. But there´s always the uncertainty if that holds up for the next driver revisions.

Out of interest, what kind of display are you using? I think it might be an issue with HDMI devices that are not 100% compliant.
You are a genius. It indeed works when doing it exactly like you suggested. Gonna need to test this further. I´m still not sure why it has to be this complicated. Thanks a lot for that, though!

EDIT: After further testing, the control panel won´t accept e.g. 29.970 or 23.976 ("Test failed. The mode "xxx" is not supported by your monitor."), even tough I can set both modes using PowerStrip.

Currently I´m using an EIZO CG243W, which is connected through the supplied DVI-D cable to an NVIDIA GTX 260´s first DVI-port. The NVIDIA control panel also shows up my monitor name correctly "EIZO CG243W", but I cannot get it to switch custom modes through the panel directly, no matter what I tried.
