That's the only way I know how as well. Was hoping there was a way just to 
throw a switch to do it instead of copying the appropiate file as the config 
each time. Thanks anyway.

Nvidia has perfectly legitimate reasons for not be able to open source the 
drivers. That doesn't bother me. Editing my XF86Config doesn't bother me 
either. Like I've stated, I'm a Red Hat whore and have done it many times on 
multiple machines. That's cake easy. At least on RedHat. Even Mandrake. On 
SuSE I got my Nvidia flash screen when X starts but since I've installed the 
drivers and edited the config it comes up with a super huge screen that I 
have to scroll across. That sucks. I've tried the Yast2 or whatever the heck 
it is and wasn't as impressed as not having it. Maybe a reinstall will allow 
me to deselect certain aspects of those packages.

That's all. Later,

Mr O
