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

Don't know about KDE, but the black background is now a default for Xorg, so also for twm.

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.

That looks to me like KDE trying to switch to a particular resolution and failing. Check the resolution setting in the xorg.conf Screen section. The easiest is just to set Virtual to the largest resolution your monitor can handle:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual 1920 1200
        EndSubSection
EndSection
