1) Is that log from an instance where you tried to enable the 2nd
monitor? I don't see anything in there about attempting to output to
the VGA port.

2) Can you try a minimal xorg.conf file? You don't need a lot of those
options for the display portion. Try something like this and let the
driver do the rest:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "card0"
        Driver          "nouveau"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "screen0"
        Device         "card0"
EndSection
