(EE) Unable to find a valid framebuffer device
(EE) NV(0): Failed to open framebuffer device, consult warnings and/or errors
above for possible reasons
(you may have to look at the server log to see warnings)
These errors (and the warnings above) indicate that you need to load the
framebuffer driver for nvidia cards, "modprobe nvidiafb".
Are you quite sure that you disabled it correctly (double check the file
after running the configuration). It would also be interesting to see if
you get the same errors when it's set to false or commented out.
