UPDATE: Solved! (Original post moved below)
RE-UPDATE: Some important notes added
Patiently reading through the NVIDIA docs (which, I must say, are pretty well written), I managed to ensure that only modelines that I specify in the xorg.conf file are used, and the validation rules for modelines are (somewhat overzealously) relaxed. This did the trick :)

Specifically, I have the following working xorg.conf;
Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Simple Layout"
    Screen 0    "Screen0" 0 0
    Option    "BlankTime"   "5"      # Blank the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity (Fake)
    Option   "StandbyTime"   "10"      # Turn off screen after 10 minutes (DPMS)
    Option   "SuspendTime"   "20"      # Full suspend after 20 minutes
    Option   "OffTime"   "30"      # Turn off after half an hour
    InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

and the following in /etc/modules.d/nvidia
Code:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=1

NOTES
1. NVreg_Mobile=2 does NOT work. Although the NVIDIA doc says this should be the setting for my Toshiba laptop, this gives a hard lock (either by itself or because of in-kernel AGP; see next point).
2. The in-kernel AGP should NOT be compiled at all (neither as a loadable module not as part of the kernel). This always causes a hard lock. I repeat: make sure CONFIG_AGP=n


Hope this helps others with toshiba laptops out there!

-------- Original post ----------
My toshiba notebook (Satellite pro 6100) is again misbehaving with nvidia drivers. The infamous problem with toshiba laptops has resurfaced: I get a 1/2" black vertical stripe ("black bar", "black line") on the right side of the screen and my display is limited to the rest of the screen. The old way of fixing this was to put
Code:
 Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
in xorg.conf
This is deprecated in the new nvidia drivers, and therefore doesn't work.
Trying
Code:

Option "UseEDID"  "false"

doesn't help either.
Neither does
Code:

options nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=4

(including other values for NVreg_Mobile) in /etc/modules.d/nvidia

I'm running x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 and
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8762-r1 with USE=dlloader
I've tried the ~x86 driver too, but I still get the same problem

After much searching around on these forms and on the nvidia forums and on google, I've ended up trying a gazillon combinations and nothing seems to change things :(

Here's the current state of my xorg.conf:
Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Simple Layout"
    Screen 0    "Screen0" 0 0
    Option    "BlankTime"   "5"      # Blank the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity (Fake)

    Option   "SuspendTime"   "20"      # Full suspend after 20 minutes

Enabling/disabling GLX etc doesn't seem to make a difference. In fact 3D acceleration works ... it's just that everything is limited to a portion of the screen which doesn't include about a 1/2" vertical strip of the display ...

Any suggestions on what I should try?
