Comment 5 for bug 201968

Thanks for pointing that out, commenting out the Synaptics line does indeed let X load, but then I have other issues in gnome with menus and the panel not working properly (probably need to open a new bug report). Using the one generated by nvidia-xconfig works great.

I'm still curious as to how that Synaptics line got in there, as I did not do any manual editing of the xorg.conf file.

Thanks for your time.
