On a different OS (on which I had the problem) I eventually put it in "/etc/X11".

Sorry, I meant that you look for the Xorg log file to see if/what it is reading. I don't have a GUI of OI handy, but the man page should tell you where the log file is (on Ubuntu 12.04.1 it's "/var/log/Xorg.0.log".

CUT ...] I don't have a system on which to reproduce it in OI. Yes, the above is a GNU/Linux OS (and not OI), but on any system the Xorg log should have the following items: 1) some indication that it read the config file 2) some indication that it loaded the nvidia driver 3) some indication that it found two screens 4) [not shown] some indication of the display resolutions etc. Could you find the log file and verify it has the above elements?
