-rt install woes redux

[suemac at empire.net]

Hi,

Thanks for the pointers from Gustin and others.

After some reading on how modules work and other details I beat on my rt
install.

I got the networking, both wireless and wired working. To be honest I don't
think I did anything to fix this, I think it might have been impatience for
this issue.

As for the nvidia display. I got it working after installing the
nvidia-glx-new. Installing this didn't seem to screw up my generic install,
I was pleased.

At first it didn't fix anything, still only 800x600...

During reboot, it displayed a warning about being in low res and manual
config was required. So I did, selecting the nividia 8 series and it
finished the boot...still only 800x600.

After about the third reboot and warning, I then selected not only the
nvidia driver but also the Dell laptop display. First reboot, no joy. Then
another reboot/select and there it was beautiful hi-res. Not sure what
exactly fixed it.

Below is the output of my lspci:
