I don't know why it's not working but I would strongly suggest that you update your version of the Nvidia driver. NVIDIA XFree86 Driver 1.0-5336 Wed Jan 14 is not the most recent version...

well, i got it working, turns out the nvidia files in the /dev folder got deleted.
So i uninstalled, then installed the drivers again.
As for updating drivers. Nvidia has broken compatibility and newer ones wont work for some reason. so i'm stuck with these.
