Just went paging through, and found a whole bunch of lines of the format: (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "640x350" (hsync out of range) except the resolutions keep changing. These are followed by: (**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for display device CRT-0: (**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "640x480": 25.2 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.0 Hz (**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "320x240": 12.6 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.1 Hz (D) (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 640 x 480 Which is my problem. It *is* properly detecting the nvidia card, which is nice to know- it just looks like I have hsync configuration problems. > I'd be curious to see > what'd happen if you got rid of the unwanted modes and restarted X.
