Need help with TwinView

[vwfix]

I am running the ubunut 7.10 and the nvidia-settings does not detect the second monitor, actually nothing got detected on the dvi, if I booted up with just the dvi it would not work, but after editing the xorg.conf I got a crappy twin view just need to fix the resolution.

Try lower depth.

Section "Screen"
     Identifier "Second Screen"
     Device "1 nVidia Corporation G80 [GeForce 8400 GS]"
     Monitor "DELL 1907FP 2"
     Defaultdepth 16
     SubSection "Display"
        Depth  24
        Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
     EndSubSection
     SubSection "Display"
        Depth  16
         Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
      EndSubSection
     Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection

Tried running ximera today and that worked also but the second widescreen resolution was still maxed out at 640.
