Jim,
I have posted my xorg.conf file as you can see I have the 1920x1080 information. I post the log file saying nvidia is not accepting the line.
The nv driver works at the 1920x1080 information it just doesnt seem stable.

First, it's a non-standard resolution, so things are going to be flaky with it from the start. for standard 4:3 displays it'd be 1920x1440, or for widescreen 16:9 it'd be 1920x1200. You're doing some oddball stuff with yours. And just because you slap a value in your config doesn't mean it's magically going to work. Some displays require you to set modeline values. Especially if you're doing oddball stuff with them.
For example, for my dell inspiron 9300 laptop, I use modeline values to make the widescreen display function properly. So my monitor section looks like:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Flat Panel 1920x1200" DisplaySize 330 210 HorizSync 28-110 VertRefresh 43-90 Option "DPMS" Modeline "1920x1200" 162 1920 1984 2176 2480 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
These modeline settings are specific to my display and will most likely not work for you. You'll have to consult your hardware documentation to find the values you'll need, or google for people with your display using linux. And I also have a few tweaks in the device section relating specifically to the nvidia driver which help the display. They're all quite well documented in the nvidia readme & config documentation. I'd recommend reading the nvidia documentation.
