Right now, I'd go with that and let it re-write your xorg.conf file. 
Otherwise, you might have to check your bios, as I mentioned, to see if 
you have the onboard video adapter enabled so it's just not completely 
seeing your nVidia card. The onboard video does need to be ~disabled~ so 
there is no conflict between the two.

With your model number and a google, there should be someone out there 
that has experienced what you are going through and might have a remedy 
for it.  Or, remove the nVidia card and do what you can with that 
builtin chip set. An eMachine can be hell to deal with. Ric
