The Xserver is currently running on the vmware adapter. Please try with this as xorg.conf:

Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection
I did , but with startx i am stuck in cmd.

There’s no client connecting to the Xserver, so it starts and just stops again. Create an ~/.xinitrc e.g. with contents
exec xterm
and the xserver will stay alive displaying an xterm.

I dont think that the case. Without this config its working.
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
I guess its more xorg.conf configuration related,but i didnt figure it.

According to the xorg logs, the Xserver is coming up correctly on the nvidia gpu.
Of course you can’t see it, the Tesla has no monitor outputs, or what is your issue? You can connect to it e.g. through x11vnc.
