"Screen 0 deleted becuse of no matching config section" -- edit which conf file?

[Anonymous]

Installed Q4OS on old Dell D630 with nVidia Quadro NVS 135M.
Went with debian-nvidia option in smxi script => got rid of nouveau driver and added an xorg.conf file somewhere (but did not write path down).
Manually searched cache and then installed nvidia-legacy-304xx-glx-i386, kernel source, dkms module, driver xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx (or such).
Received warning I must edit a conf file in order to have functionality.
Went to /var/log/Xorg.0.log and saw the message in Subject line above.

I went back into q4os and, at the TUI, got into smxi again but found no reference to the xorg.conf file. Previously, the script prompted me to create this xorg file but I could not instiigate the prompt again, so . . .

Am using Puppy to write this support request. The old laptop will just have to rest until I get back to it. Meanwhile, I have other things to do.

Where and how do I make this modification to the xorg.conf file in question, so that I may once again have the GUI desktop (TDE is it}?

The default xorg.conf file is located in '/etc/X11/' directory.

We recommend to use 'qinst-ipvideo' script to help to manually install NVidia drivers.

where do I find this script?

[Q4OS Team]

Simply run in terminal:
$ qinst-ipvideo

I ran the script as root and it returned:

/usr/bin/qinst-ipvideo: 5: /usr/bin/qinst-ipvideo: nvidia-detect: not found
/usr/bin/qinst-ipvideo: 6: /usr/bin/qinst-ipvideo: nvidia-detect: not found

First update your system:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If you are using Q4OS 0.5.x run as a user:
$ ipvideo
for Q4OS 1.2 Orion run:
$ qinst-ipvideo

the same result ensues even after dis-upgrade.
i guess i'll have to reinstall.

[Q4OS Team]

The 'qinst-ipvideo' script is a part of the essential 'q4os-base' package, if you miss it, your Q4OS system is probably seriously disrupted, or you are using older Q4OS version.

We could try to help you to fix the system, please put output of terminal command here:
$ dpkg -s q4os-base

UPDATE

I performed
<apt-get install="" --reinstall="" q4os-base="">
after update and recived only two additional lines,
the last stating "q4os-base for Q4OS' -- otherwise the same output as above.</apt-get>

Seems good, now put an output of the command:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/qinst-*
