You need to become root (either log in as root or run the su command).
Then you need to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and make the changes
prescribed by NVidia.

Note that you need to edit /etc/inittab (or run MCC and go through the
boot section) to make X load at boottime.

Good luck

[newbie] after Nvidia driver install, how do to edit X86config?

[maxim j NARBROUGH]

Am a bit stuck on x86config file editing, i.e. 
don't have a clue.
I successfully installed the Nvidia driver pack, 
but now need to edit the x86config to run it so that I can finally boot into X 
rather than just the console.

p.s. thanks ed tharp and stephen 
kuhn for last advice.
Will do you the honour of reading some manulas this 
summer so I can move forward a little more 
quickly.
