I think at this point the Nouveau driver is probably the preferred open nvidia driver. However, nv should still work unless you have really new hardware. Here's a guide that's often sited for setting up monitors in current Xorg: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 > Also for Andy, I did remove the /etc/X11 symlink and now have: > > $ ls -l /etc/X11 > total 4 > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 18 14:28 app-defaults > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jun 27 20:14 xorg.conf.d -> > /opt/xorg/share/X11/xorg.conf.d FYI, the symlink is unnecessary. The organization is such that your local configuration goes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d is for package/distro supplied configuration which has the lowest priority. That's why 10-evdev.conf is there. It supplies a very generic input device setup that you can easily override in /etc/X11. Essentially you're just reading in the files twice now, which won't hurt anything. Have a look at xorg.conf.d(5). -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
