Hi Jay. I Don't know if you've gotten this working yet but this is what
I would try based on what I have setup. I'm running what sounds like a
similar setup.

Under the "Monitor" section remove the Horizsync and VertRefresh.

In the last Subsection "Display" have only
Modes		"1680x1050"

Below is a copy of my xorg.conf. I'm running a home built machine
running Fedora Core 7 with the Nvidia drivers from the Livna repository.
It's onboard video from the Nvidia 6150 chipset. Can't recall exactly
what motherboard model it is but it's from Asus.

Good luck

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war;
no nation has ever borrowed largely for education.  Probably,
no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization.
We must make our choice; we cannot have both.  
~Abraham Flexner

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
