I just installed my NVIDIA graphics card driver using this manual, but after installation my X does not load. I login using terminal and remove the xorg.config and access the safe mode. Is there any problem or is it a bug?
I tried Problems with NVIDIA & X11 & Debian answer but it didn't work.
I used sudo Xorg -configure and I got the following log:
