My xorg log file with the problem no longer exists but I believe the problem 
was related to glx.

The nvidia splash screen loading, dark screen flicker several times, then the 
nvidia splash loading again.  This repeated several times, then stopped on a 
dark screen.

On manual reinstall of the nvidia driver it complained about the previous 
nvidia installation having been modified since it was initially installed 
(glx library symbolic link in usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions).  After the 
install was complete (with no changes to xorg.conf) the driver worked fine.
