Perhaps you got another model/type?  This one has some sort of fabric
around and the plugs look really good.

Oh I hadn't thought of that and just tried:  I'm getting a picture, so I
could use the console now.

Perhaps there's some option for the nvidia module I should use.  I'll
have to look into that ...

Hm, and strange is that I'm pretty sure that I used 'nomodeswitch', yet
that isn't there.  I don't know if that's still required, though.  It
might already fix it.

So I need to read some documentation tomorrow ...
