Should I reinstall the nvidia driver since I did the xorgconfig?

Ok... Thats better.... Thats a pretty old monitor chief. Sorry I said to use the color depth of 24. Thats probably what is going on... Ussually your refresh rates are detected correctly. I would focus more on your "screen section"...

The "nv" driver will work fine for now... I wouldn't bother installing a new driver until you can atleast get X running smoothly...

Make it so it looks like this.

Leave your "Depth" alone for now and just change the 'modes' section for each depth like I did above. Try to 'startx'.... If it does the same thing, then get back in, leave the 'modes' to what you changed them to and change the "DefaultDepth" to 16. Try to 'startx'.... If that doesn't work, get back in and change the "DefaultDepth" to 8. Then try to 'startx'......

Everything I found on google about this monitor says that people are running it on a DefaultDepth of 8...... It's just an old monitor man...... That would be my guess.....

I did that and the monitor said out of range i am changing it back now.

Do you practice being vauge? You did WHAT and it said out of range?... After changing all three modes sections first and leaving the DefaultDepth at 24 and then starting X it said "out of range"? If thats the case then it should have been saying "out of range" this whole time and you just didn't tell us. Did you try all 3 different "DefaultDepths" like I suggested as well? Seems like your making this unnecessarily hard on your self and us as well..... I have to get to work soon or I'm gonna get shitcanned.... Hurry up and post back or I'll post back later tonite.....

Ok thanks yall I finally got it installed I went back to when I did that xorgconfig and just changed the drivers to nvidia and deleted the dri and it worked. Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!

Sigh...... Well, glad it's running now... Happy Slacking....

Thanks alot man!

It fixed the screensaver to!

So.... Just to clarify now that I'm probably fired....

What exactally did you do? Are you still using a "DefaultDepth" of 24? Is it also running at 1024x768 res? Come on man..... Give us the low down..... Was it just installing the Nvidia Driver that did the trick? I find that hard to believe.....

I'm going to slink my way into work now, but there better be a post explaining everything when I get home tonite.... Write more than a sentence too if you could please....

what I did was rerun the xorgconfig thing and from thier I inslled the nvidia driver again and that time I did not change anything but replace nv with nvidia and deleted the dri and saved and loged out and did startx and it worked.

I left the monitor like this.

Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x400"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

I did notice the refresh rate is higher now too.

And now you can open a terminal and type : nvidia-settings to fine tune your nvidia driver

That is kool i did not know it had settings.

Remember this sugestion WAY back on page one?

Geesh..... Seems like you were panicing and try to think and do things too fast. I was under the assumtion that you had done that atleast a few times and it still wasn't working.... Oh well...... Slow down next time something goes wrong. Run 'glxgears' and check out your FPS for that card..... I'm used to just a couple hundred FPS on my old card. This thing rocks. Should have gotten a 256mb card..... Oh well.....
