I then went into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and modified the config to match.
I had no choice to manually do all this because the GUI display manager really did not do a good job for setting up my TwinView (2 monitor setup) NVIDIA card. I simply would not start up X. ALso looking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is a great place to see what's happening if you do have any problems.
Cheers, Mike

Caveat: While the installation program correctly detected my frequency range, it picked the highest vertical frequency that it supported, which was not actually the optimum vertical frequency for my monitor's display. I had to manually alter the frequency setting. Some monitors actually only support one vertical frequency. LCD monitors are like little computers of their own, and my experience has been that they don't burn out like a CRT will if driven at the wrong frequency; they just won't display.
Hope that helps, William
