I still think you might be confusing the kernel module, using modprobe to load, |
| 8 |
with the X11 driver (you need both) which is named (as I wrote below) |
| 9 |
nvidia_drv.so. You do not use modprobe to load the X11 driver. Looking at your |
| 10 |
included xorg.conf, you have nv loaded in X11, not nvidia. Wrong item. |
