Disclaimer: I don't really know what I'm doing. :) Issue: I have an nForce motherboard with a built-in GeForce 3d accelerator. Without having installed the nvidia display drivers, I was getting weird (annoying) flickering on my screen when running my X server (XFree86, on debian).
So I downloaded and installed the nvidia drivers and made sure Load "glx" was included in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Now when I start my X server, I get no flickers (yay!) and I get nice framerates with glxgears (yay!), but I also get a nasty resolution/scrolling problem that I can't solve and is driving me nuts. My X server seems to be running at a higher resolution than the resolution of my monitor. Certain parts of the desktop are off the screen and in order to view them I have to move my mouse to the edge of the screen and the whole desktop starts to scroll. Arg! I know my monitor can handle a higher resolution than this, but how do I let my display subsystem know this? I didn't have this problem until I installed nvidia. :( Hoping that makes sense...
