You could try adding:

Option "DDCMode" "True"

under Section "Device". However, this may be a deprecated setting, not sure
what the current equivalent is. I also noticed that you have device settings
for two cards with two different drivers. The "nv" driver complains:

(WW) NV: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:10:3) found

Perhaps you should look into your Device settings a bit more (I am not
familiar with Nvidia or your particular hardware). On my laptop I only have
one Device section (well I am lying, I have two, but the second one is set up
for TV out), nevertheless, external monitors are being picked up all the
same.

HTH.
