The readme for 1.3.x says 1. For XF86Config
Have Load GLX line Remove/comment out dri, GLCore line 2. What's the opengl-update? I never ran it and OpenGL worked on my sysetm. 3. The requirement to put nvidia driver in modules.autoload is a function of something gentoo did. I did not have to originally - it would load when I did startx however in the last couple of weeks the same nvidia version had to go in autoload. Then I found that for testing I had to load the driver with modprobe to run startx or no driver was found and startx failed. Put this step before running startx. > OK.
