I've always found the Debian XRandR documentation to be good.  Check it
out: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12

Apart from all the nvidia-specific options you've got there, you're
missing...

You may have noticed from your Xorg.0.log that your monitor section
*was* getting read, and the preferred mode *was* getting applied; just
