No, I see, you have running no glx driver. The required driver in xorg.conf must be named "nvidia". So, you can forget my suggestions and ideas. You have no nvidia-glx driver installed. If you might run with nvias accelerated drivers, you first should have good knowledge about package handling. Sorry, I could not help you.
