Yes. Everything is working fine then.

I'm not sure how to do this? Do you mean to change "nvidia" in
XF86Config-4 to something else? In which case I don't see how it would
work properly, because nvidia is the right (presumably the only) driver
for my graphics card.

Or do you mean to uninstall the nvidia kernel drivers that I made from
the nvidia-kernel-source? Usually if I don't build the nvidia drivers
when a new kernel is installed, X doesn't work, and it gives me error
messages about the monitor until I build and install a new kernel
package from nvidia-kernel-source.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious or being stupid. I'm not very clear
about how this stuff works.

Helen.
