Nvidia driver, X doesnt start

I installed the nvidia driver for my graphic card and made the changes in my X config file as it said in the manual for the installation, but now when I try to start x its just a black screen and nothing happen.
I have a little green light on my monitor that starts to turnon and off all the time as well when this happend.

Thanks,
Granden

I'm not sure what it could be, but post a copy of the log from your X server, as that will help diagnose the problem. The file can be found in /var/log and will be called something like XFree86.0.log, or Xorg.0.log.

Edit: obviously you'll need to get it off your machine. If you have some webspace and a command line FTP program (gftp is one I think), upload it using that.

The problem is solved, thanks anyway.
It was the easiest problem I solved so far, I just turned on my other monitor and X had start on that, So it was never a really problem, I thought it was gonna be like it was with the vesa driver I got a cloned picture on my other monitor, but with the driver installed I just got it on one monitor and that is fixed now as well, Thanks.
