Nope, nothing missing. They built the card, they know what hooks up
where better than anybody. Try this, google on xorf.conf nvidia and your
model number. You'll see what problems others have had with your own
board and what they added or modified within the xorg.conf file to
enable all the features. My board is older than yours, so my file
wouldn't be of much use to you. Google and see what others have done to
theirs. Ric
