Hi
Can you post the /var/log/Xorg.0.log up on nopaste.com… Assuming
you ran sax2 or nvidia-xconfig before init 5? If not you need to run
one or the other…
sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
or
nvidia-xconfig

Success… I have had much better luck now with this system configuration than I ever did with 10.3 and the driver I was using. I am rushing out of the office to head home. I will respond with what I had to do to get things working.
The biggest issue arose from user error. After installing the Nvidia latest driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.22-pkg2.run) for my hardware/software configuration - I got a black screen when running Sax2.
My set up was hooked up to a Dell 20" monitor, and Dell 24" monitor. In addition there was the laptop screen that I kept close (working at my desk). Under my old installation the the 20" monitor served as the primary display and thus that is the only one I had turned on.
I decided well let me try opening my laptop screen - and viola - that is where Sax2 had decided to start.
Interestingly enough, before I installed the Nvidia drivers the 20" monitor was the “default” primary display. That is where 11.1 installed to by default.
I guess the lessons to be taken away are 2 fold:
Make sure you have the latest Nvidia drivers
Turn on all monitors (3 in my case)
Malcolm, thanks again for all of the help/suggestions you offered.
Also for any other visitors I will post the install directions that I found very helpful:
