Obviously there is still something causing a problem there.
You say you changed the driver from "vesa" to nv?  First thing - did you make 
sure to include the quote marks - i.e "nv"  rather than just nv?  I would 
only make one change at a time - then you can see if it works or not.

If you did use the quote marks, then perhaps we need to see what the log is 
telling you.
A log is saved each time X starts (or doesn't start) in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
In there, at the bottom will be the reason it cannot start X for you. 
If you have a look using nano again - 

nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and note down the reason it gives for failing to start. Then note it down in a 
mail to the list. That will suggest what we need to do to fix it.
