found out: I had the monitor hooked up to the WRONG port. It's a dual head card with two DVI ports, so when I connected up the monitor I connected to the closest port. That's why restarting the Xserver brought things back to the SECOND display.
For anyone else having issues with Nvidia cards, I would suggest checking out your logs. That's what lead me to my discovery of my user error.
Thank you for following up on this here. Your hint may actually help solving a lot of problems ;-) Egbert.
Thx all. I'm going to try to give this a go, again, as I have been stuck on the 3123 drivers for my nVidia GeForce 3 200 Ti card and each attempt to u/g fails. Even under this scenario I have to go under /usr/lib/tls and re-link so's by hand. I'd love to get back on the main nVidia driver u/g train and thusly appreciate the thread. - james Egbert Eich wrote:
