X refuses to start Headless 3D

I am trying to get NVIDIA QUADRO FX 1500 with latest 64 bit proprietary driver:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run
to run on ubuntu 10.04, kernel 2.6.32-28-server. The server is
headless and is performing 3D accelerated graphics which I readpixel,
jpeg compress, and send off over the network.
The same hardware config was working fine for years with older version
of ubuntu / kernel / driver.
When I upgraded a similar server, identical to this setup but with an
older ATI Radeon AGP Card, I had the same type of issue with X
refusing to start as it looked for connected monitor. The fix in that
case turned out to be turning off KMS with (momodeset) as boot time
kernel option and adding these 2 lines to the headless "Monitor"
section Xorg.conf:
Option "Enable" "true"
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_75.00"
So with the NVidia, I tried these things and am still stuck at:
...
(**) Feb 05 11:17:48 NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration
(II) Feb 05 11:17:48 NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and
Composite X extensions is

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Below I have Included my full xorg.conf followed by the full log file.
Last time Alex Deucher and Jong Bridgman generously answered my cries
for help and saved me on this mailing-list. I have fallen again and
can't get up. Please help! Thanks in advance.
