12.04 beta 2 seemed rock solid for me until I started trying to set up my monitor's ideal resolution in xorg.conf. I have to do it this way because I'm running my work machine and this testing machine through a KVM switch which does not pass the monitor EDID data to the graphics card.

As soon as I edit xorg.conf to add HorizSync, VertRefresh and modelines etc this problem starts to occur on every boot or login. You just have to login in then wait for the error. Usually Apport crashes out as well but I managed to get here eventually.

I'm using the Nvidia drivers and I'm attaching my xorg.conf file for reference in case there's something in there that might I might be doing wrong or is inadvertently causing the problem. I'm able to successfully set the correct resolution for my Samsumg 1100p monitor, though I am currently unable to get a faster refresh rate than 55 Hz for some reason.
