That isn't expected to have any effect; hotplug will not load that module
regardless of whether it is listed in that file.  It must be loaded explicitly
via /etc/modules if you want to use it.

You can install the nvidia-glx module using the Ubuntu live CD if you wish.

So far, I see no indication whatsoever that your problem has anything to do with
the nvidia driver.  Boot the system in recovery mode, which should verbosely
show which modules are being loaded and help narrow the possibilities.
