Hi Dale, I have returned home and can once again bottom post. There's no way I'm going to read and understand this whole thread but I did have one question and one comment: 1) Did you ever actually try the Kubunu option that didn't require an install? I saw you mentions Knoppix and maybe one other option. Just curious as to what the results were. 2) I see you discussing xorg.conf file which I don't use here but did you generate this file - if you are really using it - using the nvidia-settings app, or by hand? If your system will stay up I believe nvidia-settings is recommended by NVidia, or was anyway. It does a good job of showing the layout and handling options that NVidia says make their cards work better. Good luck, Mark
