Ok, i installed Nvidia drivers and ran XF86Config to fix the no valid configuration error that used to come up when i typed in startx.

I re-ran the config and selected Nvidia drivers for video... now i get the error "No Devices Found" and then undernieth it says the same no screens found error.

I tried using standerd VGA setting or watever... and it went into this thing where the top 10% of the screen was garbled and showed wierd colors and the rest was black.

I'd suggest you try re-configuring X11
to use fbdev ... when it works, reinstall
your nvidia drivers, and MANUALLY
change the driver-section ... from what
I understand xf86config won't pick up
your new driver, and it the kernel module
is loaded won't pick the card up anymore.

Cheers,
Tink

I really don't have a clue what i'm doing.. i just installed linux yesterday and don't know very much... whats fbdev and how do you use it?
