Thanks. I tried this, but i am having no luck getting it right. Now,
when i get to the GUI, i hear the sound, but it's a sequence of black
and white squares on the screen. I have an nvidia geforce 6800gs, and a
17" lcd that does 1280x1024 at 60hz. I tried installing nvida-glx but that
didn't help at all. Anyone have any idea as to how i should try
configuring xorg?
Thanks
Andy
