ahh good times. so i figured id try slackware. figured maybe some of that cool 'pure unix' chic would rub off on to me. or maybe i just liked the fact that it has 'slack' in the name.
anyway, i installed the full dvd of slackware 13. when i booted it up it was a console. i checked the runlevel and it was at 3. so up put it up to 4, then when i log back in = black screen. graphics problem i figure.
but what do i have to change?
here is my Xorg.0.log

Kernel driver in use: nouveau
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau
Well this is the bit you want.
1. The kernel is loading nouveau which is not yet fully supported so you need to add it to the blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. Then grab the Linux nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com and install that and configure xorg.conf to use "nvidia" instead of "nv" or "vesa"
Post a solution as this will aid others that will be able to search and find a solution to this problem. Experienced users can discern what was done to solve this but a newbie most likely won't be able.
