[SOLVED] NVIDIA GF119M vs Xorg vs GLX

Hi there, i have a problem with my Notebook ThinkPad T520. I have the (onboard) graphic card "NVIDIA Corporation GF119M". Therefore i'll need the OLD driver from NVidia: "nvidia-390xx-kdms" and "nvidia-390xx-utils". In my /etc/X11/xorg.conf i have the following lines:
Code: [Select]
Section "Files"
   ModulePath   "/usr/libx/org/modules"
   ModulePath   "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
   ...
sddm wont start and a "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE" shows me that:
Code: [Select]
(EE) NVIDIA(1): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please recheck in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(1):    log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(1):    server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX module.  If
(EE) NVIDIA(1):    you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(1):    reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
(EE) NVIDIA(1): Failed to assign any connected display devices to X screen 1.
Now i dont know, what to do, because i have installed the driver, set the ModulePath where the glx files (libglx.so and libglx.so.1) are saved. And nothing works?

I have deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooted ... the problem is gone?

You're probably better off not having an xorg.conf.
