NVIDIA Driver black screen on Linux

After weeks and weeks of messing around, I was finally able to figure out my problem! It was, in fact, the monitor.

I followed the guide here and manually edited my xorg.conf file, and now everything works perfectly!

Adding the content here just in case the forums get archived:

# This section defines the Catleap (HiRes) monitor.

# This is the section I changed

# The BIGGEST issue I had, was figuring out what was on DFP-0, DFP-1 and DFP-2 (which are the dvi/hdmi outputs)
# In MY system, DFP-0 is the "primary" DVI output
# and DFP-1 is the mini-HDMI output
# and DFP-2 is the 2ndary DVI output
# So I want my Catleap on DVI-0 and the Asus twinview monitor on the DFP-2 (so I had to change my cables)
