nvidia not working
Kindly replace [dot] with .
As I am not able to post links
Hi
I have reinstalled bodhi linux because of some reasons. After fresh install, now bodhi is running X in 800x600 resolution. I want 1024x768 resolution so I installed nvidia driver. My nvidia card is nvidia GeForce 7050/nForce 610i. I followed the following guide to install nvidia driver;
wiki[dot]bodhilin...u.php?id=nvidia
I used the Manual Installation method. After the installation, I used the following xorg.conf file which I have saved form my previous installation and was working very well;

Previously, this xorg.conf was working well but now with this xorg.conf file my pc freezes while loading X and I have to press power button to turn it off.
Can anyone tell me that is there anything wrong with this xorg.conf file
or
How can I get 1024x768 resolution?
PS: As always, I used the nvidia-current dirver while installation. My kernel is 3.0.0-9-generic
Here is the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Please let me know I you need any other information.
Regards

Open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Add
Save and exit. Reinstall the Nvidia driver and rebootCode:blacklist nouveau

As MikeTbob says. Also, the current xorg servers do not need the xorg.conf files as they will interrogate the hardware on boot to see what they need to know. I assume you have a fairly recent display - if not then you may need to manually configure your xorg.conf file.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

I tried removing xorg.conf and also blocking nouveau but X freezes while loading.
After removing xorg.conf then I can not get 1024x768 resolution. I am on 800x600
