I have updated from 12.04 to 13.10 and now my second monitor is not detected correctly anymore. It is a Fujitsu Siemens S17-1 ... OK, he is old, but still working!
Within nvidia-settings i only can setup 800x600 or 640x480 ... not very good :-/
After playing arround i used the following options in the screen Section to disable the automatic guessing from X
Option "UseEDID" "False"
Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "true"
After that i can use every combo i want in nvidia-settings and my prefered setup work! It is 1680x1050 for my first monitor and 1280x1024 for the second (S17-1). So i safed this to the xorg.conf file and all looks fine (he added only a metamodes-line).
But after a restart he dont load the metamodes. I start with 1024x768 and 1024x768 and have to use nvidia-settings every time to apply my preferred resolutions.
I already tried some settings, here is the current xorg.conf:
