FINALLY! After a lot of work and trouble trying multiple configurations, I finally got the right one! I was having the some problem that Peter and Santos had had. So I tried the xorg.conf Santos uploaded, but changing the nvidia "PCI:4:0:0" to "PCI:2:0:0" to match my lspci specs. I'm uploading my xorg.conf to anyone who wants it. By the way I'm using Acer Aspire 5745PG and my bus conf. is: nvidia: 01:00.0, intel 00:02.0. Thanks again Martin, and keep up the good work!
