Ok, you haven't kept us filled in on this development, you actually can 
run Nvidia X server settings and under the various tabs see that OpenGL 
is running and the like? While you're there, set your display the way 
you want it, if it needs changing. Later, if you want dual displays, 
this is where you set it, in the future.

At that point, under the X Server Display Configuration tab, in the 
lower right hand corner is the option to "Save to X Configuration File" 
option. Click that, check "append to existing file" and hit save
It'll ask for your password, enter that and hit enter. Won't hurt a THING!

Your /etc/X11.xorg.conf file should be showing that the driver is 
"nvidia" and not "vesa" now.

You are arrived. <whew!> Reboot. I need one of BC's drinks. Ric
