You see this kind of thing whenever kdm has trouble starting X, but what you 
really want is the underlying error message from xorg.  As a first step 
comment out the kdm line in /etc/ttys, and then start KDE (or whatever) with 
startx.  

One, fairly obvious, thing to do is autogenerate a new xorg.conf file, and 
make your nvidia changes on that.
