I'm not sure at this stage. I don't think so because without the modeset 
lines in xorg.conf I think Display showed the refresh rate as 50 Hz 
which seems to be the default. With the modeset lines I have Display 
only show refresh rates of Auto, 60Hz and 75Hz. Nvidia Xserver Settings 
I don't think will work because it doesn't support the display of the 
xserver configuration when Twinview is disabled and, in my view it is 
pointless having Twinview enabled when you only have 1 monitor.
