I think that I have made all the changes suggested, but I still
the "nvidia" modue fails to load.

>From /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

[    36.467] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[    36.467] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[    36.467] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[    36.467] (II) Unloading nvidia
[    36.467] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[    36.467] (EE) No drivers available.

/usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-304xx/ seems to include nvidia_drv.so:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    1276 Nov  9 14:58 nvidia-settings.desktop

/etc/alternatives seems to point there:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Dec  8 20:27 nvidia--nvidia_drv.so -> /usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-304xx/nvidia_drv.so

However /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers contains only 

total 28K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26K Sep 23 07:43 vesa_drv.so

Should there be a link to nvidia-drv.so above & is that the problem?

Thanks again for help so far.
