Sun ultra 40 m2 nvidia server won't start

[Matt Thrailkill]

If he is using nvidia-xconfig, I don't think he would be getting an
xorg.conf that would work with anything other than Nvidia's binary
driver.

The last time I used it, nvidia-xconfig gave me a simple xorg.conf
that started X on my machine.

What kind of things are in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?  I suspect that will
have useful information.
