No, I don't. This indicates to me that NVIDIA could not recognize the monitor at all (except that it is there.) Note the line "(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce FX 5500 at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)." I have AGP (unless pci and agp slots are interchangeable. Maybe I should examine the card more closely.) So, my next question is: Could I obtain the proper mode lines by removing the card and using sax2 to generate a new xorg.conf file, since sax2 did this properly before I added the new card? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
