configure xorg with the NVIDIA card

 

Hello,

I have been trying unsuccessfully to setup my xorg.conf with my NVIDIA card
following the archlinux info on Xorg.
I decided it was to time to ask for advice.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Multiple_monitors.2FDual_screen

I have installed the nvidia drivers (version 280.13) on ArchLinux (64bit).

I cannot manage to get my external monitor working with the hdmi port.
Also the font are much to big. I tried various options that did not work,
but this is secondary!

Here is my xorg.conf. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alexandre
