[elrepo] Nvidia GeForce GTX675m - No login screen after upgrading to Centos6.4/kmod-nvidia-310.44

Many thanks for all all your replies. Apologies for not responding sooner -
I've been enjoying the bank holiday weekend!

I have included the details requested. For the larger files, I have added
them as attachments rather than pasting in-line. I hope this is ok?

For the last few lines in Xorg.0.log, there are a few lines which seem
pertinent to my issue:
