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? -- --- David Woyciesjes
