FC3 dual head xorg error: No matching Device section for instance

Hardware Configuration: Supermicro 800MHz FSB serverboard, Dual Xeon 2.8GHz , 512Mb RAM Registered ECC PC2700 x2
Graphics card: ASUS GeForce extreme N6600 128Mb PCIExpressx16.

something about Primary Adaptor found PCI:2:0:0
(WW) NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:0) found

I'm at work and the machine is not on the net and my work machien does not have a floppy drive, so I can't easily move the log files and xinit/startx/X/xorg stdout/err output and xorg.conf transfered over to post. I have to go from memory -- I tried altering the BIOS PCI Express port and PNP/OS settings and ended up w/ the BIOS eroring out unable to detect a video card (I have an old PCI card Diamond Stealth 64 SE at home I'm going to plug in to reset those bios settings tomorrow or the next day, whenever I can locate that card). In the meantime, here's what I can remember of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
