	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?
