[Centos] Re: NVIDIA on Linux

Hello scty library,

I had huge problems with NVIDIA cards on Linux.  The
screen would go blank as soon as X tried to load.  I
only tried using the driver that came with CentOS.  

After lots of parts swapping, I found that the monitor
(obviously) and (even) the motherboard make a
difference.

Finally, I gave up on NVIDIA cards -- I got a Voodoo
Banshee card and things have been easy since.
