EasyUbuntu - error message after install

[radagast2]

I just used the latest stable release of EasyUbuntu (3.01) to install a number of items (codecs, binary codecs, libdvdcss, flash, java, embedded videos, Microsoft fonts, nvidia) in a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06. After everything was installed, easyubuntu popped up a box ("easyubuntu.py") with the following message:

Error: your X configuration has been altered.
This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
command:
md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
from nv to nvidia.

What does this mean? Should I go ahead and edit the md5sum entry?

Also, for the sake of completeness, the box also included the following (after the above error message):

I thought this was bug 47193 (https://launchpad.net/products/easyubuntu/+bug/47193), and thus followed the suggestions in the bug report and ran the following commands:

md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

After which, X failed to start on rebooting. The X log reported the following errors:

(WW) NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

To get X to start I had to revert to the backup saved in "/var/backups/xorg/xorg.conf..."; running "sudo nvidia-glx-config disable" did not solve the problem.

Ideas?

I found that the problem has been documented on the nVidia troubleshooting page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTroubleshooting); I followed the instructions on that page (I changed the device driver of xorg.conf from 'nv' to 'nvidia'), and now X starts just fine (with the nVidia drivers loading).
