Not a direct answer to your question, but have you tried using nvidia-settings?
apt-get install nvidia-settings
then
sudo nvidia-settings
It is an easy way to setup dual screens and create a xorg.conf file
without having to hand edit one. In general, with the newer releases
of Ubuntu/xorg/nvidia drivers, I have left the modelines, depth, and
modes out all together. The newer system (not honestly sure if it is
a function of the Nvidia drivers, Xorg, or something else) seems to do
pretty good at dynamically guessing the right info. My guess is that
one of your modelines is off and the easiest fix may be to either
create your xorg.conf with nvidia-settings or to just take out the
modelines all together and let them be dynamically set when x loads.
Hope this helps,
Preston
