Mark, It's great to hear that I should be able to get the nv driver working! I've made a big step of progress, I can now start up X well enough using the nv driver, but I can't seem to be able to get a resolution higher than 1024x786. Ideally, I would like to be able to use 1280x1024, the monitor's native resolution. I've posted the relevant files online, as I didn't know if the list server stripped attachments, and I didn't want to put the contents in the body of the message. So, here they are: http://chb.orangekids.net/XFree86.0.log http://chb.orangekids.net/XF86Config Thanks in advance for any advice!
