I'm using the same XFree86 4.2.0 drivers that I've used under 7.3, 8.0 and now 8.1. I'm not using the binary only drivers...they don't have any for the 7xxx series.
I've replaced the default X . files in my home directory with copies from a dummie account that I created. We'll see if it was a setting that I used before but doesn't work now.
I had more issues with nVidia's binary drivers then I care to talk about. I had 4 co-workers machines simply not work with the nVidia drivers and after a couple days of messing with these boxes I came into work the following day and MY workstation suddenly with no help from me started erroring in the same mannor as my co-workers. Even though I had had this setup for the better part of 2.5 months. It was sudden blow up. After I switched both my home machine and work machine to ATI cards I had no issues. I have the same setup at work still and it runs like a champ. It must be something else. And it only happens in X. So I figured it was a . file that I had in my ~/. ======================
Don't worry Ben, Anders is just pulling your chain about the cards. In reality, Anders wishes he had an ATI card too! ;o) Patrick --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206
