See, you've got Section "Device" as "vesa", but your Section "Screen" points to the device "nvidia", which you haven't defined:

Section "Device"
Identifier "vesa"
driver "vesa"...

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device     "nvidia"...

If you have nvidia.dsl installed, change the "Identifier" and "driver" in "Device" to "nvidia".

Not that I really know anything about the config files, but looks likely that that's the problem.

PS.  Looking through some configs, looks like the device identifier doesn't have to be anything specific, as long as you reference it in Screen by the same name.  It's "driver" that's the main bit.
So you could make an identifier of, say, "main desktop", with driver "nvidia", then reference it in Screen by calling device "main desktop".

I still have no idea how it sets the resolution and refresh-rate, though...

Thanks! With that info and a bit more tweeking I was able to get it to work. The only thing is when I restart the icons disapear and the dock only has a pager. But I can put those back.

Thank you everyone for your help.
