Hi all, I am a college student and am taking a graphics course this fall. I recently built a PC with an AMD64 CPU and a GeForce 6150 on board graphics card. I seem to be having trouble getting it to use the nvidia module, but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I installed it using the module assistant method, and I believe that I have things set up correctly.
