Since you use a nvidia card you probably don't want to use xinerama but use
the nvidia twinview option instead.
The below xorg.conf is what I use for my dual head setup:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister at builder26) Wed Mar 29 15:31:59

nvidia-xconfig can generate the file for you and settings can be edited by the
nividia-settings graphical menu.
