did you run

I tried your suggestion and got this:
~$ nvidia-xconfig
bash: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
and this one:
$ $nvidia-xconfig
bash: -xconfig: command not found
and this:
# nvidia-xconfig
bash: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
what package is nvidia-xconfig in? Why would I need this, and what does it do? I
don't think it creates a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I've read similar letters
with
old dates like 2010 that suggested this solution but I believe it's redundant.
It works for me. I have the complete nvidia "suite" installed. Not the
CUDA stuff, nor the Tesla stuff, but everything related to the packaged
proprietary driver. It *does* create an xorg.conf file if one is not
present. In general, the xorg.conf file is considered unnecessary, and
possibly even deprecated. In new installs, everything pretty much "just
works". However, on my elderly install, even though it's wheezy with
excursions into sid, it still requires me to have the file, and I
occasionally have to run nvidia-xconfig to reset it when something
messes with it. I suppose I should create a backup, but....we all have
our hangups.
Anyway, what you are looking for is in its own package, named, oddly
enough, nvidia-xconfig.
