Please show your Xorg.0.log and the output of "xrandr -q". You may have to set up custom modelines in xorg.conf, see http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for more information. > I'm desperate. What other drivers work with nVidia cards? The fbdev driver will work with the nouveaufb kernel framebuffer. Boot with video=1280x1024 to force the correct resolution for your monitor. See http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting, section "Forcing Modes". Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
