Hello,

I setup X, with using the standard TNT2 drivers and everything looked great. I then decided to install the NVIDIA drivers which went smoothly. But now my display seems a little darker and blurry. The words just are not as sharp.

Any help is appreciated.

To tell the truth i have the same problem, but i blames it on my eyes, for not seeing well. But mine are not very blurry, it doesn't bother me, as i can read even small letters without problems. Maybe there's something in Nvidia README (at the end, in the Appendices) about this. I solved many problems with my drivers just by carefully re-reading the README.
Not much help.... sorry

HAHHAH, I fixed it, it was the hsync, it was off.

Then i might try to tinker with my hsync as well, but as i said, for me it is not a big problem, i can still read even small letters just fine...
Thanks for the solution anyway
