1 I still cannot get X to start with the nvidia drivers. However, I did take
2 (someones?) suggestion and tried both the "vesa" and "nv" drivers and they
3 both "work". I say "work" because with 'vesa', I get a HUGE (i.e. low rez)
4 screen = unuseable. And with the 'nv' I get the right resolution 1600x1200,
5 but I get horrible frame-rates (glxgears).
6
7 I tried to turn off the RenderAccel option with 'nvidia' but no joy.
