.. I rest my case yer Honor. That is correct. xorg.conf hasn't told the
system to use the nvidia driver. Like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "D9M-20"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
I have no clue what your boardname is. But, it should work with just
Driver.
Open a terminal window.
cd /etc/X11
cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.orig
(you now have a copy of what works, even if half-assed.)
sudo gedit xorg.conf
just change that driver line to 'nvidia'
Save that and exit
Log out and login again. It'll blow or go. :) Ric
