-Adding this parameter did make the new "nv" driver you asked me to try work
all the time.
-Here are the "nv" pameters used in xorg.conf;
Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT]"
Driver "nv"
Option "CrtcNumber" "0"
Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
NOTE: some extra option comes from nvidia-glx driver but their don't
seem to harm "nv".
-in attachement the log produced by "nv" with "CrtcNumber" parameter.
-The problem is now to make the driver work all the time after fresh
installation. New user can't be expected to add parameters in their
xorg.conf. Even Linux literate won't know that they need to tweak this
parameter.
-How do I revert back (i.e. apt/dpkg commands) to the "nv" driver from
Feisty distro to try it out too? I only tried the driver you sent me.
-Do you have a new driver that detects the correct monitor that I can
try out?
thanks veru much
