Thanks Warren,

removing the BusID line worked and the nvidia defination is needed.  
Xorg now seems to work. I have xinitrc configured for kde and it  
starts fine and displays the nvidia screen and looks ok initially in  
general with the kde graphics but at the end it all goes to black.   
Changing to twm or vtwm works fine but with a black background only  
although with twm I have term windows and other programs that are  
viewable where in kde, nothing is visible.
There must be something missing from my upgrading that would cause the  
black background but have no idea where to look.

The xorg.0.log file for the kde4 start is at

Thanks again, for your patience and help.
