SaX2 Log

Thanks. I'll try to reproduce with a similar card (8400 GS).

I don't see this issue on my 8400 GS with a CTX 1280x1024 monitor digitally connected. Tried with your xorg.conf. Screen comes up with 800x600 as expected.
I suggest to remove the following lines from your xorg.conf:

 HorizSync    20-46
 Option       "PreferredMode" "800x600"
 VertRefresh  50-60

and replace

  SubSection "Display"
            Depth      24
            Modes      "800x600" 
  EndSubSection

with

  SubSection "Display"
            Depth      24
            Modes      "1680x1050" 
  EndSubSection

Does this help? Please attach new Xorg.0.log. Thanks.

?

Ok I check this, but I have a other SaX2 created config ?

The Test is starting in 1 - 2 Hours

Ok. So SaX2 saves another config as it writes for startup. In this case remove

  HorizSync    30-83
  Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
  VertRefresh  56-75

and replace

  SubSection "Display"
      Depth      24
      Modes      "1280x1050" [...]
  EndSubSection

with 

  SubSection "Display"
      Depth      24
      Modes      "1680x1050"
  EndSubSection

OK, now I tested it.

On my system Sax is not starting correct :(.

The Monitor is going out of Sync

Instead of starting SaX please try starting Xorg directly and attach new Xorg.0.log.

You mean init 3, startx ?

OK the log is attached.

Created attachment 254956 [details]
The startx Log

Ok. Monitor again out of Sync when using startx?

No, it is only with SaX2 out of sync 81.3/65Hz ?

the Monitor have
HR 30-83
VR 56-75

I start hwinfo --monitor, is hwinfo broken ?

techz:/ # hwinfo --monitor
34: None 00.0: 10000 Monitor
  [Created at fb.71]
  Unique ID: rdCR.EY_qmtb9YY0
  Hardware Class: monitor
  Model: "Generic Monitor"
  Vendor: "Generic"
  Device: "Monitor"
  Resolution: 800x600@75Hz
  Driver Info #0:
    Max. Resolution: 800x600
    Vert. Sync Range: 50-90 Hz
    Hor. Sync Range: 31-48 kHz
  Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown

For some reasons the monitor cannot be detected by hwinfo. Then SaX2 make some weird assumptions, which result in 

  HorizSync    20-46
  VertRefresh  50-60

for xorg.conf used by sax2 to start the Xserver. But it seems these get ignored by nv anyway. So you still should have a working SaX2. I curently don't understand this behaviour.

Since I cannot reproduce this issue at all I'm afraid you need to live with that now. The easiest for you at the moment is to run 'sax2 -a -r', then adjust
HorizSync, VertRefresh and resolution as mentioned before and then to do the finetuning on top of  a running Xserver. Basically this is a duplicate.
