I tried all that you instructed to no avail. When I tried reinstalling 
the nvidia drivers, I received the message that there were no mirrors. 
When I tried the mv, it came back and said nvidia-config-display is not 
a directory.
I agree with the first statement made, the nouveau drivers are being 
loaded and not the nvidia drivers for some strange reason. I have never 
had this problem before. I bought the lastest nvidia card with the 
express purpose of not facing these problems. Oh well:-) I still express 
my thanks for your hard work. I guess it is back to the drawing board. I 
wish I could send my laptop to you. I believe if you could see what it 
is doing with your own eyes and not the eyes of a novice, it would be an 
easy fix.
