I have 2 options of VGA:

It's an instance of Ubuntu running on Amazon EC2.

When I open my xserver I get the following message:

In fact the X server gets open and it works. But with the resources of the 'Cirrus Logic'. I wanna be able to choose the VGA I want when open the X Server. How do I do that?

• PS: The final goal here is to use OpenGL of NVIDIA. This is an Ubuntu running on Amazon AWS. It has GPU so it's supposed to have a way for me to use OpenGL on it.

• PS2: Disable the Cirrus VGA is also very welcome. Is there a way to do that?

So I got everything to run on the Amazon-provided Ubuntu 14.04 AMI ubuntu-trusty-14.04-amd64 . Below is my setup code. I kept the old answer attached below as well, for people to find in Google.

Sadly I haven't found the answer myself yet, but here is some breadcrumbs on the way:

I installed the NVIDIA drivers

(if you get an error because of nouveau drivers, check here)

Next install XServer

And generate the xconfig (as per other stack overflow question)

Weirdly this generates a file in /etc/X11/XF86Config, so I copied that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in order for X to pick it up.

Now running the Xserver gives the following error for me:

Now this post suggests, that the module path has to be set manually in the conf:

Anyways, this seems to actually load the driver module and then crashes:
