Hmm, it does sound like you need to take a look at your X configuration
(/etc/X11/xorg.conf). Make sure you are using the nvidia driver, I think
it's called 'nvidia' (the X.org driver is called 'nv' and that's not
what you want).

Hope it helps.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

Our analysis is that many users of Linux don't want ther organizations or
their competitors knowing what they're running. They'd rather get kudos for
a job well done than criticism for how they got the job done.
