I would disagree.  I have only 3 modes in my xorg.conf, and am usinb
the binary nvidia driver, but xrandr from the command line (which I
assume mirrors the API function's output) offers the following:

640x480 does not integer-scale to my 1280x1024 display.  With 640x512
I have perfect pixel alignment (2x zoom), no blurriness from the
scaling.  I'll take 640x512 over 800x600 even because of the graphical
nicety of it, and there are plenty of games (with options turned all
the way up) that I cannot run at a good framerate at 1024 or 1280.
