It seems like your old xorg.conf file was corrupt for some reason.
That is probably why you have been having trouble. It looks like
nvidia-xconfig created a new file for you. So things should be working
with the new one. If you want to be sure you can move xorg.conf
somewhere else and run nvidia-xconfig to have it create one from
scratch. Also you generally need to reboot after installing the video
driver to allow the kernel module to be loaded. If you want to see if
the changes to xorg.conf are going to work you need to restart the
xserver. I generally do this by restarting the login manager like
this: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.


Ok, so when I did the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart I get the message that it
is displaying at a low resolution again so it does not work.  I am a bit
confused as to what to do next. 

I then reboot and start up in recovery mode and fix then I am back where I
started.  It seems to me from what I have researched here that this is a lot
more difficult than when others have done this.  What would I be doing wrong
and how would I go about getting this to work?
