Hi,

sorry but with that kind of questioning you won`t get any response,
that includes your other posts as well. 
you should all ways try to describe the problem more specified.
you should post your configs (/etc./X11/xorg.conf) and hardware specs
(dmesg) and os release version( uname -a ) ,and the driver version
you have installed, too.

I downloaded and installed the driver from nvidia with better results.
Now, I have a problem of a broken screen and a workable area of 320x240.
I added the the Modes to the xorg.conf file with no change in results.

Yes, I did.
I'm thinking that it may be the metamode option.

Re: need help with nvidia drivers

2009-11-04 Thread Super Biscuit
I fixed by using the following method.
Opened the properties and set the screen resolution.
Opened firefox and downloaded the old xorg.conf I sent you earlier.
Logged out and then back in as root.
Used kate to copy the screen layout from the downloaded file to the active 
xorg.conf file.
Saved and restarted x.

Believe it or not, I did need you to walk me through the process. There were 
quite a few things I wasn't able to notice on my own.
Thanks a lot and all that.
