It was installed at the time I posted this problem; however, I have now
removed nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx, and generated a new xorg.conf. The
system is working now, using "nv" as the driver. Next, I guess I'll install
nvidia-kernel, etc., and see if it works this time?

Thank you very much for your post.
