As noted in the "Special Nvidia Considerations" section of the 101b
release notes[1], the nvidia drivers were updated to a new version that
adds support for many newer cards, but does not include support for
some older cards. If you have one of the older cards, you need to
download and install the legacy driver from
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
If that doesn't solve your problem, the xwin-discuss forum is the best
place to get graphics driver help.
