Okay I followed the Wiki as instructed to the letter. Same EXACT problem. It |
| 7 |
all seems to go fine, but I get a black screen when X starts. Not like a |
| 8 |
back-lit one either. Like "power off" black. I know X is running, I can see |
| 9 |
the processes, and it doesn't seem locked up either. I just can't see |
| 10 |
anything. |

I don't run KDM or any other manager like that. |

Thanks for the ideas, I think it's just this P.O.S. card and the fact that |
| 33 |
nVidia is screwing me by not supporting it anymore in these later drivers. |
| 34 |
Not sure why Willie's works though. That is curious, hopeful and frustrating |
| 35 |
at the same time. |
