Yes. I have nv loaded in my xorg.conf, because when I put nvidia in xorg.conf, my machine crashes. That is the problem that I am having. nvidia in xorg.conf used to work before I upgraded my card. |

I still think you might be confusing the kernel module, using modprobe to load, |
| 17 |
with the X11 driver (you need both) which is named (as I wrote below) |
| 18 |
nvidia_drv.so. You do not use modprobe to load the X11 driver. Looking at your |
| 19 |
included xorg.conf, you have nv loaded in X11, not nvidia. Wrong item. |
