Nvidia display problems as normal user

Hi,
I have a working FC14 x86_64 install with the rpmfusion nvidia drivers
and successfully have it working as root at 1920x1080 using just
startx. However, when I run startx as a normal user, the display is
only 1280x1024. What could be the reason for this?
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports that it's using the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file, and there is no mention of 1280x1024 in the xorg.conf. In fact,
it's listed as 1920x1080.
I searched quite a bit for this without success, but not really sure
how to troubleshoot this. Here is some relevant information:
>From Xorg.0.log when started as normal user:

There is nothing relevant between the "setting 1920" line and the
"setting 1280" line.
