Any suggestions?  It's really annoying to have a wide screen and not
be able to use it....

Try letting the nvidia installer generate the xorg.conf file (and then possibly tweak it by hand later). Or try the following xorg.conf file which works for me an autodetects any type of display I've attached to my CentOS systems, including wide screens:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder63) Mon May 19 00:33:37 PDT 2008

# Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config
