I have a 751 chipset mobo myself and have the Nvidia drivers working
fine. There are two things you need to be aware of with the drivers.
First, they do not support any resolutions higher than 1024x768. So if
your current XF86Config-4 file is configured for a higher resolution, for
example 1280x1024, then your machine will hang when X starts.
Secondly, if the above situation does not apply to you, try disabling AGP
by doing the following. In the "Screen" section of your XF86Config-4 file
add the line:
Option "NvAgp" "0"
This info is in the Nvidia FAQ and with my AMD-751 mobo I have to add this
line in order for X to work correctly. Hope this helps...
