Thanks Warren,

removing the BusID line worked and the nvidia defination is needed. =20
Xorg now seems to work. I have xinitrc configured for kde and it =20
starts fine and displays the nvidia screen and looks ok initially in =20
general with the kde graphics but at the end it all goes to black.  =20
Changing to twm or vtwm works fine but with a black background only =20
although with twm I have term windows and other programs that are =20
viewable where in kde, nothing is visible.
There must be something missing from my upgrading that would cause the =20
black background but have no idea where to look.

The xorg.0.log file for the kde4 start is at

Thanks again, for your patience and help.
