Unhappy NVidia drivers yield blanked screen on Slackware 14.1 :(

EDIT: I give up on this. Anyone know how to revert back to nouveau?

When trying to play Civ5 (via Steam) on my Slackware system, I couldn't have it start up past the intro. A suggestion I had read was to to use NVidia's proprietary drivers, which would consequently replace nouveau. Well, I tried that, I got a xorg.conf generated (Normally I just have no xorg.conf and have a 50-synaptics.conf in xorg.conf.d), and now it yielded the ever-dreaded "No Screens Found" error.

Trying to find solutions to that, I stumbled on a video that did a "BusID" trick, which kind of worked. I can clearly hear apps like Skype load, but now it has a blank screen. (Blank as in when it starts, it looks like it's just a frozen CLI cursor; then when I Ctl-Alt-F1 and go back to C-A-F7, the screen looks like it's shut off) So now I have to rename my xorg.conf into something so that I can see a GUI, which I'm guessing due to nouveau's removal now has its own problems that I hadn't previously had, I can't use SuperTuxKart or Steam

At this point I'm giving myself two choices, neither of which I have a clue how to do, even after 3 hours of googling: Revert back to nouveau, or better yet get the proprietary drivers actually working. Anyone willing to give some advice?

Here is my xorg.conf:

Code:

Lord-Ragnarock hello since we are talking about Nvidia card could you please post your card .
in slackware
I down load the driver login in as root with run the SH NVidia ----Run .

it then reads that I have nouveau running and ask if it could black list it and set modsetting select yes.
Then reboot and then run the SH Nvidia -----.run and this has never failed me with the right nvidia driver
if this isnt a slackware full install mm. since I have no clue what your hardware is I have no other way of helping you.
This must all be done in Runlevel 3 Slackware default runlevel.

I got this little hint from your read out aspirev3 but there is 6 models of them. but they all use the latest driver.
the driver I use for 32 bit slackware 14.1 http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...x86-331.49.run

Well if you did as I said above. since I am gussing this is a laptop. I wonder if the back light is coming on.
those are FN key functions.
You may want to use the older driver the newer drivers are for newer mesa and xorg. and have caused back light issues.

[ 46743.738] (WW) NVIDIA(0): from CRT-0's EDID.
It seems that the nVidia driver does not understand your display on CRT-0.
If this is a CRT monitor then try setting the correct values for the HorizSync and VertRefresh in the "Monitor" Section in your xorg.conf with information appropriate to your monitor.

Addendum
Which seems a bit weird as the error log suggests you have an Acer machine with these display ports.

i run a gt640. you may want to open a terminal asume root and run nvidia-xconfig and it should run in auto and detect your display. hey I never got the 304 to build in slackware 14.1 wonders how you did. ????
