As I wrote in my tutorial:

Install the nvidia driver:
Now we can Install the packages jockey-gtk and nvidia-settings:

sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk nvidia-settings

.. run /usr/bin/jockey-gtk, 'activate' the newest available nvidia
driver and .. 

backup xorg.conf for nvidia:

So, why are you trying to do things different and afterwards ask me for
help?
Please take the jockey Script for these steps like I wrote, then
immediatenely backup the xorg.conf and than run the script 'update-gl'
That's all.

That Logfile is not the right one! That is only for reloading the rc
settings for the tool 'nvidia-setting' which you first have to create (I
explained it all in the tutorial)
The script
  'update-gl'
is the most important from all! That one will install the right
upstart-jobs and makes everything run as it should. Did you run
update-gl?

I do not have such problems at all!

I hope this helps..
