Yep, have it, same ver. When I let it reconfigure the x server itself,
and it chooses nv, I get 1280x1024 24bit just fine. The Xorg.0.log file
also seems to indicate that it know there are 2 monitors attached...
Comparing the log files from the nv & nvidia attempts - what pops out
is nvidia sets the ModulePath to
"/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia, /usr/lib/xorg/modules".
modules directory only has extensions and drivers folders, while the
nvidia directory mentioned only has libglx.so...
The nv Xorg log file is "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"...
I wonder if it would work to sudo cp those files to where it looking?
Probably best to find out where the ModulePath is getting changed/set.
Question is, how is a Win refugee to do that?
