 From your log:

(--) NV(0): Virtual size is 1440x900 (pitch 1440)
(**) NV(0): *Driver mode "1440x900": 106.5 MHz, 55.9 kHz, 59.9 Hz
(II) NV(0): Modeline "1440x900"  106.50  1440 1520 1672 1904  900 903  
909 934 +hsync -vsync
(**) NV(0):  Driver mode "1440x900": 136.8 MHz, 70.6 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(II) NV(0): Modeline "1440x900"  136.75  1440 1536 1688 1936  900 903  
909 942 -hsync +vsync
(**) NV(0):  Mode "1440x900": 136.8 MHz, 70.6 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(II) NV(0): Modeline "1440x900"  136.75  1440 1536 1688 1936  900 903  
909 942 -hsync +vsync

As you can see the first detected mode for 1440x900 is giving you the  
106.5 value and you never specified in your configuration which  
1440x900 mode to use, even though you put the one you wanted into the  
monitor section, they are ALL called "1440x900".. You can see the mode  
you specified in the config file is showing up twice (once by auto  
detect and once by being listed on the mode line), but the  
identification string is the same for all three.

Change it to the following:

ModeLine "1440x900_136_75" 136.75 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 903 909 942 - 
hsync +vsync
Option "Preferred Mode"  "1440x900_136_75"

That then uniquely identifies that mode, the part in "" can be  
anything you want, it's just a string to identify the mode..

Good luck!
Jerahmy.
