I've got a hot nvidia 7950GT GPU which is supported by nvidia's latest

As for the screen size, I think I've got the xorg.conf set up as perfect
as it can be [snipped]
after help from people here, I have got further, but only to the point
where X will only load if I disable the glx module.
I think that is normal since the proprietary nvidia driver contains its
own GLX implementation. The installation instructions explicitly state
that you should comment out the normal glx module.
Do you encounter any problems if you start X with the nvidia driver and
the glx module commented out? You can run "glxinfo | grep direct" to
check. If you get "direct rendering: Yes" then you are all set.
A belated thanks for the input (sorry for the long delay - started a new job and
everything got a bit hectic).
I now have colour, thanks to Andre, but things are no clearer on the glx front.
glxinfo initially segfaulted when I tried to run it.
So it seems that glx isn't working though. glxinfo outputs
Error: unable to open display (null)
and the Xorg log contains the failure:

This is with "load glx" commented out in the xorg.conf - needless to say I have
tried re-installing the nvidia driver, but not having changed anything else
deliberately, I am not surprised it had no effect.
Do you think X is mistakenly trying to load glx independently and failing, or
has it succeeded and glxinfo is just having problems of its own?
