Crank up Hardware Drivers (jockey) and make sure that your nVidia
drivers are installed and in use. Then go through the settings with the
nVidia X Server Settings tool, select your monitor resolution, etc, and
then, under the X Server Display Configuration tab, you will see "Save
to X Configuration File" in the lower right corner. Click on that, and
select the default "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and check "Merge with existing
file". It should ask for your passwd and then save it for you. Piece O
cake! Then log out of your session and back in again. Enjoy! Ric
