When rebooting after this the system instruct me to re-configure the X11 configuration, when doing this using the "gui" screens provided I cannot select a screen but can select the nVidia card and then the nVidia driver. The configuration generated still does not work - I attach a copy of the Xorg.0.log generated. In this log there is a mention of using the GLX driver/module from nVidia. While inspecting /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions I noticed a sub-directory "nvida" that contained a file "libglx.so". I renamed the libglx.so file in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions and copied the file in the nvidia sub directory into it's place - and rebooted. The reconfiguration of X11 still would not allow me to select a screen and also did not work. I attach a copy of the Xorg log "Xorg.0.log.2" where it seems as if the correct GLX module has now been found but without giving me a useable X11 configuration. Any suggestion on how to proceed from here would be welcome - if entails getting another graphics card please suggest a suitable card that will run without hassles.
