Does X start when you reboot your system?  Apparently, the nvidia device 
drivers are not automatically created in /dev at boot time so they are 
not available when X tries to start (at least not on my system).  
Placing copies of the drivers in /etc/udev/devices tells the udev system 
to create the drivers in /dev so that they are available when X starts.
