Manually Editing the Configuration File

If you do not have a working X config file, there are a few different ways to
obtain one. A sample config file is included both with the X.Org distribution
and with the NVIDIA driver package (at /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/).
The nvidia-xconfig utility, provided with the NVIDIA driver package, can
generate a new X configuration file. Additional information on the X config
syntax can be found in the xorg.conf manual page (man xorg.conf).

If you have a working X config file for a different driver (such as the “vesa”
or “fbdev” driver), then simply edit the file as follows.

Remove the line:

      Driver "vesa"
  (or Driver "fbdev")

and replace it with the line:

    Driver "nvidia"
   [...]
