Nope...the log indicates that it's using the NVIDIA GeForce2 driver, and
my conf looks pretty much the same, with the exception that my monitor
supports higher resolutions:

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "single head configuration"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1600x1200"
 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
        HorizSync    31.5 - 90.0
        VertRefresh  59.9 - 60.1
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nv"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1600x1200" "1600x1024" "1440x900" "1400x1050"
"1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1024x768"
"800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Still, I'd think that if it was a driver issue, per se, that "init 3 ;
init 5" would have resulted in the same behavior as simply booting into
runlevel 5.
