17 The error in your Xlog uses the word 'module' in this sense:
18
19 (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
20 (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
21 (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
22 compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
23 Module class: X.Org Video Driver
24 (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 173.14.20 Thu Jun 25 19:28:52 PDT 2009
25 (II) NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs
26 (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01@00:00:0
27
28 I'm guessing that the xorg server couldn't load its 'nvidia' module because
29 the nvidia kernel module wasn't loaded, so that's no surprise.

31 Does modprobe -nv nvidia say anything interesting?
