It just says that your xorg.conf isn´t default anymore and therefore to
prevent accidently overriding it checks it with the md5sum of xorg.conf
and compares it with the default hash.

two possibilities:
1. edit xorg.conf manually
   which is basically:
		      - alter the line >  Driver  "nv" 		> to
				       >  Driver  "nvidia"
		      - add:
			Section "DRI"
        		Mode    0666
			EndSection

                        to the end of xorg.conf

2. run
md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
then again
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

which will do the same then.

[hint]
...nobody ever sad you are not allowed to backup your xorg.conf somewhere.
[/hint]  ;)
