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
Is VESA a kernel option or some package I need to install?
It's the standard video driver, x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
And I change nvidia to vesa or do I need to unmerge nvidia first?
Also, are these done as modules like nvidia is? Hmmm, if I remove
xorg.conf, how does it know which driver to use?
The more I find out, the more questions I have. That's normal tho. lol
