Upon installation of 16.04, a Dell 2408WFP was not detected by the default Nouveau driver. I then installed the actual Nvidia driver hoping for a different result, but that yielded the same result.
I've now changed monitors again, and it is still not showing up. These monitors only show up as CRT-0 in the NVIDIA X Server Settings control panel.
Any ideas as to what I can do to force X and the Nvidia drivers to detect the proper monitor that's attached?
Here's a copy of my Xorg.0.log for review.
When I modify xorg.conf with the following:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

I unfortunately get the following error:

none of the selected modes were compatible with the possible modes:
