You guys rock ! ;)
Just as a clarification, I'm not a developer (this seems to be a common
misconception, caused by me knowing some things but not actually knowing
which end of the compiler is sharp, although I'm trying to learn [1]).
*Those* guys rock; I don't even dare to sing in the shower, as it sounds
positively awful.

Good to hear!

[1] Although, given that this is C, learning which ends aren't sharp
('undefined') is probably a better bet.

Re: nv(4) driver on nVidia 7600GS card.
Ok I am keen to be a tester, any documentation on how does one test and send useful information to the port maintainer? (Will be getting -current, but that's only the first step.) I have learnt C from college as well, so I like to do a bit of code too if I can... any documentation on how Xorg was ported and such? Linkage would be good.

nv(4) driver on nVidia 7600GS card.
Hi, I have an nVidia 7600GS Graphics card, and attempted to get it to work with the NV(4) driver. There shall be no hardware problem, as I have tested it with VESA(4) driver, and X -config /root/xorg.conf.new works. This is the monitor that I was trying to get to work: http://support.ap.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2407WFP/en/about.htm#Specifications Its modeline has been specified in the xorg.conf.new file. I don't quite get the warnings in the log, I have only specified ONE resolution to be used in xorg.conf.new but it is trying all different one's?? Attached dmesg, xorg.conf.new and Xorg.0.log, hope they can help. If you do not prefer attachments I can upload it to a http server instead.
