Stupid cut/paste.. :-(

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
VideoRam 32768
EndSection
btw... been having some real trouble keeping up with my mail due to a serious
family illness... but workin on it when I can... This is really a true
annoyance but not critical.. i've been living with it for a while now and some
days it won't do it at all.. Go figure.. Anyway... I don't want to let it
fester and have all intentions of trackin it down and puttin the nasty little
thing to rest... Just bear with my slow responses...
