I confirmed with lsmod and even rmmod and modprobed it back in a few |
| 58 |
times. Still no joy. I really think it is either the card or the |
| 59 |
xorg.conf file. Thing is, when Mandriva failed to work, that makes me |
| 60 |
wonder about the card. It was using the generic "nv" driver and it |
| 61 |
still wouldn't work. |

Got to go take care of some medical issues. Back in a bit. |
