Remove this from you xorg.conf (see below why).


> Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!

This is the result of the 'Load "dri"'-line above.

DRI is hardware accelleration for several *non-nVidia*-GPUs.
If you're using the nVidia-driver, DRI is useless.

In this particular case, libdri.a needs to resolve the
external symbol __glXgetActiveScreen, which simply isn't 
provided by nVidia's /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so. [1]

HTH,
Mario
