Just the driver should do it for the time being Rob.

A good habit is to make your own backup of the file, i.e. 'cp
/etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080102_1802' so that even if you
do make a mistake you can always revert to the original config.

Bear in mind that the section we were referring to appears to relate to
the on-board graphics card.

Section "Device"
Identifier  "nvidia GeForce 6100"
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Boardname   "nv"
Busid       "PCI:0:13:0"
Driver      "nvidia"
Screen     0
EndSection
