Since you are on 11.3, Xorg should actually work without any xorg.conf. Try removing it and seeing what happens. nvidia> nouveau> nv in the Xorg autodetect so it should still boot up with the proprietary drivers. Thanks Tejas, that was an interesting discovery! I was unaware that

So you set me on a new path, and yes removing the xorg.conf file completely works, sorta... While the GUI does come up with the init 5 level, I still don't think the nVidia drivers are working. None of the openGL screensavers run for example, and the nvidia server settings tool still complains that I am not using nVidia drivers. I did a bit of further investigating and read another thread where someone suggested executing the following and I discovered something interesting that I didn't know about this laptop - lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2) so apparently I have two graphic controllers??? So that raises some questions, do I have a conflict and am I getting a driver loaded for the Intel controller instead of the nVidia controller? How do I find out, and how do I get just the nVidia drivers working?
