I found there is a utility called nvidia-settings. If you run that in 
single screen mode, and ask it for a double screen configuration, it 
produced a very different xorg.conf file from the one I had. This one 
works OK. So, problem solved, but I have no idea why the previous 
xorg.conf file works without problems under FC5.
