OK. Here is my current xorg.conf file:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" "1680x1050"
Virtual 3360 1050
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "randr"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "False"
EndSection
And this is the log file output (from: /var/log/Xorg.0.log):
