I've got a Quadro FX700 and two Samsung SyncMaster 213T's plugged in, 
one on the DVI connector and one on VGA which goes through a KVM so I 
can access other computers at my desk.  I can't be 100% sure but close 
that this xorg.conf was generated by running "nvidia-xconfig 
--twinview".  I didn't change anything by hand.
