nvidia driver broken


When I tried to solve this problem:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=486030

It became only worse, I tried to install the nvidia driver from their site. But when the installation was complete and I wanted to start x again it said:

Quote:
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.
(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:

Can someone help me to get me back to "normal"?

Just restore your xorg.conf with the backup you made before adding the nVidia stuff. You did make a backup, didn't you?
