Ok. Do you actually have an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/?  If not, 
running nvidia-xconfig will create one and may fix your issue or maybe 
not.  I found using nvidia-settings troublesome and I believe there is
a bug involved but could be wrong. Running nvidia-xconfig then fixed me 
up. It's possible you may be doing something wrong in using 
nvidia-settings as it's kinda tricky to use, was for me.  So try 
nvidia-xconfig if you haven't yet.
