Ok, specs first...

Ok, I got the network drivers installed, and now I'm working on the video drivers. I ran the installer, and it did its thing with no problems, but it said I needed to edit my XF86Config file accordingly...ok, no problem...so I looked at the XF86Config-sample file provided from nVidia that gives you the things to put into your own config file. So I followed it, (I didn't just copy it though...heehee) and I though everything was ok.

Well, when I restart, I get a parse error on line 5 in the ServerLayout area of the config file. Now my screen names are matched up in both sections of the config file...and I have no clue as to what is causing this parse error. However, until I get this figured out, I have zero access to Hardware 3D acceleration, or any exteneded 3D functions.

Can someone maybe, hook me up with some assistance?

Here is a copy of my XF86Config file...

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

Ok, now I know that there was some useless stuff in here, but its better to post everything, that way I myself don't miss anything, I'm getting the parse error on line 5 in Serverlayout. Also, under section device, I used lspci to give me a list of PCI devices, as that is what the nVidia instructions said to do, now it was listed as 02:00.00 - however, I didn't put that extra 0 in there in the beginning...is that important...I know that sounds stupid...but I'm still learning Linux...and I'm sick of M$'s junk.

FIxed.

Got rid of smart quotes.
Fixed line that read: End Section...where it should have been EndSection.

Had BusID problem...out of desperation, took that line out...now it works.
