I managed to get the widescreen option working by selecting System ->
Administration -> Screens and Graphics and selecting the monitor model,
restarting X and then selecting the monitor resolution to 1280x800. I
also commented out the second screen section in the xorg.conf file.
The issue I'm now having is that on every restart the login window and
my desktop default back to a poor 800x600 resolution. I can reset this
to 1280x800 by selecting System -> Administration -> Screens and
Graphics but is there a way to make the default resolution remain at
1280x800?
Below is my xorg.conf file that works with 1280x800.
