Have you tried by removing that setting? It works?

You can try with "xrandr".
Alternatively, you can dive into nvidia manual to manually specify that
option (there is a GUI for configuring this or you can edit the xorg.conf
file by hand):
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.36/README/index.html
Just verify the version of the readme file matches your driver version.
