Hacking Xorg.conf

Ok, for some reason (probably because I'm using an old KVM switch) my Fedora
16 system is not detecting what monitor I have and is refusing to give me a
usable resolution. I have a Dell E2210H wide-screen monitor and it's capable
of 1920x1080 resolution, but I can't get that in Fedora.
Under Windows, the monitor is also not identified, but I AM able to get the
maximum resolution.
I have hacked my xorg.conf in an attempt to get it to display, but it's still
not working. Here's a copy of my xorg.conf (I copied it over the nvidia-
xorg.conf after backing up the nvidia-xorg file as well.):
# RPM Fusion - nvidia-xorg.conf
