nvidia fx5600 loads vesa driver instead of nvidia driver


hi there. i have a bit of a problem. i have been working on this one for a while now with no sucess yet

it seems as though even though i have installed the nvidia drivers for my FX5600 that when x starts it still loads the vesa driver. i have tried diffrent XF86config files i have modified the driver section for the display card. it was orriginaly vesa i changed it to nvidia no luckk i changed it to nv, no luck. im still not too great at trouble shooting this OS and i will need some help to figure this one out. here is my XF86Config file and my xfree86.0.log file

i looked in /etc/X11/ to see if there was that file but there is not. at the top of the config file i have made available it says its for xfree 4 so i am going to try to rename that file to XF86Config-4
