Had a little trouble getting an nvidia card to do ultrawide 21:9 mode, It
was only doing 1920x1080 stretched to 2560x1080. :( But , it looks like the
xorg.conf configuration line that makes all the difference is...


Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {viewportin=2560x1080}"

in Section "Screen"

(in case someone runs across in the future, hopefully it helps save some
effort.)
