I broke down....just for you....  :-)

I've got a GeForce 7300 GT and running nVidia's 190.53 driver.  I've got
2 monitors.  A Samsung 2343BWX whose native resolution is 2048x1152 and
a Samsung 172t whose native resolution is 1280x1024.  The 2343BWX is
connected on DVI and the 172t on the VGA.

I've attached 4 xorg.conf files.....

xorg.conf.txt     Is my original file with only the 2343BWX connected
xorg.conf.twinview.txt   Is with both attached in twinview mode
xorg.conf.notwinview.xinerama.txt   Is with both attached no twinview,
xinerama enabled
xorg.conf.notwinview.noxinerama.txt  Is with both attached no twinview
and no xinerama

Somehow I hope this helps you somewhat....
