When you ran the "nv" driver with another card in the system, was the NVIDIA card the primary card (ie. the one the console comes up on)? If not, could you try it as the primary? There is likely an option in the motherboard bios for that. I've not heard any problems pertaining to running the "nv" driver when other cards are in the system. On the contrary, I've always heard that it works fine, and I have my own dual card system working fine. What's more common is the S3 driver not working in multicard situations - a frequently reported problem. Can you send me the logfile from the "nv" driver? The "nv" driver should work without problems as the primary card regardless of how many other video cards are in the system. The same is true as a secondary card as long as a CRT is used. The "nv" driver doesn't support the DVI interface on secondary cards (though sometimes it works anyway - it depends on the video bios). Mark.
