I meant to update this last night but I didn't have time to get to it.
I did completely disable my onboard graphics card and instantly X recognized
and initialized the drivers for my GT9500 card. The strange thing about this
is that under Brigantia everything worked fine without disabling onboard
graphics. After pondering this a bit I got to wondering why X wouldn't just
initialize graphics drivers for all the available GPUS? I was still getting
graphics output on the GT9500 it just wasn't accelerated.
Here's a second question that someone may know a quick fix for though:
Part of my original complaint with the graphics drivers is that the cursor
would seem to lock up every once in a while and only for a split second. It
was enough to notice and to become annoying but not enough to keep you from
getting something done. I guess if I were doing something with graphics that
might become a problem, but for everyday stuff it's just annoying. After
getting the proper graphics driver working I thought that it would go away.
It didn't. Does anyone have any thoughts on that one? I've tried a different
mouse and a different mouse surface but nothing helped.
