As it turns out, I did need a little mode line tweaking... I set the following parameters in an EXISTING xorg.conf

Device Section

The last Option is especially important, because it allows the creation of the 1366x768 mode, which breaks all the rules of "standard monitors." Thanks especially to the hardare entry on this wiki Vizio_VX37L for pointing out that VERY critical step.

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "My NVIDIA"
    Driver         "nvidia"
       BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
       Option          "AddARGBVisuals"                "True"
       Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"             "True"
       Option          "NoLogo"                "True"
       Option "ModeValidation" "NoWidthAlignmentCheck" 
EndSection

Monitor Section

The 1366x768 modeline here is defined in expanded form.

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
       VendorName "Westinghouse"
       ModelName "SK-26H240S"
       HorizSync 31-70
       VertRefresh 50-85
       Mode    "1366x768"      # vfreq 59.815Hz, hfreq 47.553kHz
               DotClock        85.500000
               HTimings        1366 1494 1624 1798
               VTimings        768 770 776 795
               Flags           "-HSync" "+VSync"
       EndMode
EndSection

Screen Section

And of course, the new mode should be defined in your Screen section.

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Device         "My NVIDIA"
    Monitor        "Generic Monitor"
    DefaultDepth   24 
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1366x768" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

I hope this helps!
