Raiko, were you able to get this to work in DVI mode with an LCD monitor?
Hi!
Just to save your time - here is a piece from snap readme

Supported Flat Panel Graphics Chips
-----------------------------------
The following is a list of graphics chipsets that are working with digital
flat panels. Other chipsets will work with flat panels in analog mode.
Please note that if you can't see anything on the display when you boot your
machine, SciTech SNAP Graphics can't fix this, as it is a hardware problem.
Unless otherwise noted, the flat panel interface used is DVI. Also note
that digital flat panel monitors do not support refresh rate control,
although they may emulate it when running in analog mode. Currently, modes
available on digital flat panels are limited to those provided by the video
BIOS, which in most cases does not go higher than 1280x1024. The only
exception to this is the ATI Radeon chipsets, which now feature native
panel programming.
. ATI 3D Rage LT Pro (DFP), Rage XL (DFP), Rage 128 Pro, Rage 128 Ultra
. ATI Radeon 7000, Radeon 7200, Radeon 7500, Radeon 8500, Radeon 8500DV
. ATI Radeon 9000 Series, Radeon 9100, Radeon 9200 Series, Radeon 9500
. ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, Radeon 9550, Radeon 9600 Series, Radeon 9600 XT
. ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, Radeon 9800, Radeon 9800 Pro, Radeon 9800 XT
. ATI Radeon X300 Series, Radeon X550, Radeon X600 Series, FireMV 2200
. ATI Radeon X700 Series, Radeon X800 Series, Radeon X850 Series
. Intel i845G, i865G, i915G/GV, i945G
. Matrox MGA-G200 (DFP), MGA-G400, MGA-G450, MGA-G550, MGA-P650, MGA-P750
. Matrox Parhelia
. VIA CLE266
. VESA VBE 2.0, VBE 3.0

So it looks nvidia's are not working with snap via digital output. Sorry. That's why I stick to radeons.
As for adding mode:
gamode.exe is in use here
gamode 2048 1152 32 ; added mode for my 23'' samsung with nonstandard resolution 2048 x 1152 - and yes it's working via dvi from the installation phase.
With nonstandard (for video bios) resolution you may experience problems with older nvidias cards also on windoze while using dvi - simply it might turn out you won't be able to set native resolutions - especially higher ones. Radeons were known to allow native panel resolution programing, thus better choice for dvi and snap.
