01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 
TurboCache] (rev a1)

so no 6150SE.
Note that one of the "new problems" is that when I attempt to run a second KDE 
plasma  session, the system hangs with NMI watchdog warnings.

No xorg.conf, as said, no longer needed or relevant.

Nomodeset. Once used this for a boot=time which between nvidia and nouveau. I 
had to test that to swap in and  out xorg.conf versions but might  wish to now 
attempt such magic by swapping in and out the nouveau blacklist file. If I had 
working nvidia drivers.

Removed several copies of that file.
