I downloaded to nvidia installer and which builds the driver from
source so I dont think I need to apt get it.

This simply stops the X server from starting at all, so I think I'll
stick with "nv".


(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

Fatal server error:
no screens found



But I think I might have found the problem, from looking in my xserver.log file:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.0.0
	ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.2
(II) Loading sub module "GLcore"
(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module GLcore
(II) UnloadModule: "GLcore"
(II) UnloadModule: "glx"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (a required submodule could not be loaded, 0)



Do you agree this might be the problem? If so any tips on how to fix?
Thanks again!!!!
