Digital connection, but not DVI? Hmm. This may be out of my league.

Oh no! ;-) My first question is, how did you come up with this config file? Did you create it yourself by hand? Did you run a script to create it? Did the proprietary nvidia driver installation program create it for you? It seems way over-specified to me. > > (7) > ... > (++) using VT number 8 This is off topic, but did you notice that the X server initialized itself on VT number 8 instead of VT number 7? That means, for example, that if you are on virtual console number 1 (text mode) and wish to switch to the X server, you will need to use Ctrl+Alt+F8 instead of the usual Ctrl+Alt+F7. I've noticed this bug too lately. In fact, it's possible that you have have two copies of the X server running. One on VT 7 and one on VT 8.
