This wouldn't happen to be on a Toshiba laptop would it? I had one once
that was like this, and I blame Toshiba. Even in windows you could NOT
use the nvidia drivers as they couldn't recognize the card.. you
absolutely had to use the Toshiba drivers (which, of coure, were
woefully out of date and never updated after some point a few months
after the laptop came out). Apparently they did something in the hw
that would make stock drivers unable to see the card for what it was,
even though linux or windows reported it like a standard Geforce Go card
(I think it might've been a 440 Go too, come to think of it) it clearly
was modified by them in some way.
It's a MSI laptop. The NVIDIA Windows drivers work fine.
A little later today I'm going to do what Doug suggested and see if it
might be using the CRT output instead of the LCD. If that's not it, I'll
revert back to the old driver. I don't need OpenGL as bad as I need X
for a couple web sites I need to develop.
