ncmprhnsbl,

i think we're on the right track, just needs a couple of more steps.
reiterating:
1. boot to text mode ( either by using the boot menu entry or press tab key at your default entry and type 3 and press enter )
2. log in to root user
3. run nvidia-xconfig (this will regenerate /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
then
4. mkdir -p /tmp/nv-config/
5. cp -a --parents /etc/X11/xorg.conf /tmp/nv-config
6. dir2xzm /tmp/nv-config
7. mv /tmp/nv-config.xzm /mnt/sda2/porteus/modules (assuming that's your booting device and make sure it's mounted)
steps 4-7 can be done in a graphical session (if it's working after step 3. (test with "then run init 4 or alternatively exit root and login to guest, then run startx" )
using the root user filemanager and it's rickclick tools.. ie. make a folder in /tmp: nv-config with sub folder etc/X11/ ; copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf to it ; rightclick > "Build xzm module"(or similar) move that to your modules folder.

Thanks, I'll try it right now...

I thank you all for helping me here,
but, I think my Quadro K2000 graphics card is to blame because I opened it Porteus 5.01 (Text Mode) with nvidia 470 installed and went to Youtube and it was blocked immediately(Frized), the same thing this card did to me in Windows 7 ... So for the moment I'm very happy with the option To RAM with the Nouveau Driver.
