With that, I get this:

(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found.

Changing the driver to vesa avoids this, but I can't
seem to set get it to run at 1680x1050.

I'm attaching my conf file, and two logs, one when the
driver is set to "nv", and one when it's set to vesa.

You'll see in the conf file that I did try that. 
Perhaps not correctly.

Thanks for your interest,

Fred
