[Solved] NVidia 340xx Legacy Troubles - Geforce GTX260 card

What I have done so far:
- 340xx legacy driver installed
- Tried downgrading to kernel 3.16.3, and then when that didn't work, back to recent.

When I startx, it seems to attempt to access WM with both monitors, and then falls back to an error:

waiting for X server to shut down (EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

Checking out Xorg.0.log, it expands a little bit on the initial error message:

 
NVIDIA(GPU-0): Deleting GPU-0
(EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

And kernel log shows an interesting message:

 NVRM precedes every line of the following message
Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
corruption and stability problems, and is not supported

Let me know if any more clarification is needed.

After installing the latest update for nvidia-340xx, it seemed to fix the issue.

For the record, I am also on the latest kernel, 3.16.4-1, for anyone still having these issues.
