Hi, Ross. Thanks for that. It got me in, but at a horrid 800x600, so I ran system-config-display, setting it to generic 1280x1024, and leaving the vesa driver. Then I got
"out of range H.Frequency: 75KHZ V.Frequency: 60HZ"
Back into vi, and set the refresh rates, and eureka! I'm back in business. Is it worth trying the nv driver again, or should I leave well alone?
Thanks for the help. That config is going to be printed out for my "Emergencies" file. :-)

Just save a copy so you can cp it into place in an emergency.
