have xf86-video-nv installed tho. I thought that was it. However,
when I change the driver in xorg.conf to nv, no more GUI.
Instead of editing xorg.conf, move it out of the way and let X figure
things out for itself.
You could also try the VESA drivers, slow but reliable.
OK. How do I do the VESA drivers? Honestly, the only trouble I can
recall out of nvidia was upgrading the kernel then rebooting and
realizing I forgot to rebuild against the new kernel. I don't recall
every having anything like this. The biggest GUI problem I can recall
was hal and xorg. Let's not go down that road. < dale starts to steam

I really want to figure this out but not just for me. Surely I'm not
the only one this has happened to.
