Twinview on nVidia, 1280x800

I have this nVidia graphics running fine on this
laptop using the xorg.conf file below. I'd like the
option to plug a crt monitor or projector into the
external video port and have it work in twinview
(preferably clone). I have studied the resources and
something just isn't getting through my skull. I can
run one or the other. When both run a gui, one of them
is scrambled - usually the laptop one.

The second monitor, when it is in use, should run at a
standard resolution (1024x768 or 800x600) while the
laptop video runs at 1280x800.

Could you guys take a look at my xorg.conf file below
and give me some pointers about what I need to do to
get twinview working so that the laptop works properly
when the external monitor is disconnected?

Thanks in advance.
