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.
