Just remember, all advice in this thread, from myself or others, is just that: ADVICE If you try anything anybody tells you, and things mess up, well...... We are all trying, so remember that. Dagmars advice is great. Mine is so-so. Remember that you are the boss of your system. |

I have it enabled as a module. Read post 1 in the i810 section, it will help. Also, with nvidia, it makes it's own stuff anyways. I never had any issue with nvidia just plain working, unless it's a new kernel/older driver type thing, but those are rare, because those guys/girls/wizards/ogres are ON THE BALL.

Well, the good news is that the new drivers worked. The bad news is that I can't display anything on my monitor less than 1280x1024. When I do 1024x768, the screen comes in bigger than the monitor. I've played around with the settings, but no luck. The 1280x1024 setting is ok, but my monitor is not that big. Any ideas? :scratch:

Edit your xorg.conf for resolution and monitor. You'll have to google and search around for better info, sorry.

Run the nvidia installer again. It will modify and add to your xorg.conf. (Right now, you're using the generic nvidia drivers.)

The last few posts have been removed. This is not in any way because I have an issue with what was being said, but because it was wildly off-topic.
I would suggest that you either deal with the issues raised in those posts off-line or start a new thread to thrash them out. |

The weird thing is that it seems xorgsetup makes a 'snappier' system, but can, and does, miss some stuff. What I usually do is run xorgsetup, backup that file, then run xorgconfig , then compare. It can get fustrating, but after awhile you just 'know' what looks right.... Another tip: When you get xorg.conf exactly the way you want it, make a copy on a cd with other config files (lilo.conf, for example). That way, when/if your install decides it wants to join the ranks of Windows users everywhere, you can restore alot of functionality a bit quicker. I not only do that, but also backup to a nfs server here at the house. I like the 'belt and suspenders' approach. It came in real handy yesterday when I decided to repartition/reinstall on my laptop. |

Backup your new config too. That way, next 'fresh' recompile, you'll be starting with a config closer to what you want, as long as you're not trying to use a 2.4 config on a 2.6 kernel. That's BADDD JUJU.
Seems like you have everything well in hand. Keep jammin' on it. |
