As the log says, xorg hasn't found any screens.
Are you using any configuration?
If yes, post it too.
Also try, temporarily disabling custom configuration if it exists. I 
don't have an nvidia card, so I don't know if it needs any custom 
config, etc.

You can autogenerate a configuration file using Xorg -configure as root.
