Yep, sorry I only noticed the "Solved" thread after I wrote my reply. |
| 35 |
I was on vacation and have about 100 threads here to catch up on. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The README file that comes with the nvidia drivers explains that |
| 38 |
problem (as I wrote) and much more, so it might be a good read in case |
| 39 |
there's any other info in there that might be helpful in optimizing |
| 40 |
your set-up now that it's working. Also emerge nvidia-settings if you |
| 41 |
haven't already, it has a nice GUI for tweaking some of the options |
| 42 |
rather than going through xorg.conf. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Have fun! |
