I have learned a long time ago not to allow NVidia to setup my display with 
their utilities.  They muck-up more then they fix.  They have the windows 
mentality of over Analise everything and throw in the kitchen sink to be on 
the safe side.  More is better (Bloat Everything).

I use NVidia here and this is the best working xconfig I have found.  I can 
jump through all the resolutions with CTRL-ALT-(+/-) keys.  And my screen on 
reboot is 1600x1200.  I don't understand all those OPTION Statements and not 
even sure they are needed, see above.
