3 Graphics: nvidia VVS 3100M

5 I am unable to drive the VGA output. Symptoms include
6
7 * Executing "xrandr" does not mention LVDS or VGA
8 (and using --output VGA gives a warning that VGA doesn't exist)
9
10 * Pushing Fn-F8 produces a "p" (the keycap of f8 shows in blue a picture
11 of a laptop and a monitor) instead of showing the screen on the other
12 display.
13
14 The xorg.conf file generated by nvidia-xconfig (below) is fairly simple.
15 I just added the module section at the end.
16
17 Any help would be appreciated.
