1) Joe Sixpack is going to tell you where to shove it when you tell them "add that to your x.org.conf"
2) That does NOT work with the nvidia drivers, you have to include a metamodes line, and metamodes doesn't seem to work right on a GTX260 if you have more than one color depth specified as 'displays'.

Ahh the joys of not having a Control Center. Also all that autoconfigure X crap is a pain in the behind. Use gtf and generate a modeline.
e.g. gtf 1440 900 60. Stick that modeline in your xorg.conf. Force xorg.conf to use that mode and off you go.
Here is my xorg.conf
