When using the "nv" driver allworks fine, but when i Enable the "nvidia" driver (to get 3d+glx), my screen goes black, and all i can do is to cut power and reboot. Imusing a Hansol 950 LCD screen. All it says is "no digital input" when x is starting. Is there some option inthe XF86Config file for DVI interface or something? Please help me out! PS! this is not distro related, it happens on RH9,MDK9.2,FEDORA etc...
