Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 337 269
EndSection
Section "Device"
Option "DPI" "96x96"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection

There's more in there, but I edited it out for brevity. I did try manually installing the nvidia driver (version 195 is installed by default from Mint9). But there was no change using v250. So I removed it, and went back to the default version, and continued tinkering with xorg.conf. I was so happy when I finally had 1280x1024, which, btw, is a 5:4 AR, not the usual 4:3 or 16:9 used by most displays....
I guess I could have posted my own the other day.
