Hmm, well looking at that output it's not a case of a mis-parsed edid
but rather your television only provides the one resolution.  Your
xrandr output says the same.

I know it sucks to be told, "Your hardware is working as designed",
but...  ;-)

The reason it works in Lucid is probably because that older version of
nvidia is ignoring the edid.  In your xorg.conf I see you are specifying
the HorizSync and VertRefresh, and then I suppose forcing a particular
resolution via the metamodes option.  Even with newer nvidia and intel
drivers, you can also override the automatic detection and supply your
own modes.  See the man pages or just google for more info.  Or ask on
askubuntu.com if you'd like someone to walk you through the process.

For nvidia, if you'd like it to work without overriding the automatic
detection, you can also supply your own edid replacement file.  You have
to create it using a Windows program though.  I don't know where this is
canonically documented, but google turned up this page which should give
you a start - http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid
