Hi,
I have an nVidia 7600GS Graphics card, and attempted to get it to work
with the NV(4) driver.
There shall be no hardware problem, as I have tested it with VESA(4)
driver, and X -config /root/xorg.conf.new works.
This is the monitor that I was trying to get to work:
http://support.ap.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2407WFP/en/about.htm#Specifications
Its modeline has been specified in the xorg.conf.new file.
I don't quite get the "warnings" in the log, I have only specified ONE
resolution to be used in xorg.conf.new but it is trying all different
one's??
Attached dmesg, xorg.conf.new and Xorg.0.log, hope they can help. If
you do not prefer attachments I can upload it to a http server
instead.
Thanks for the help.
Hi.
Look at your Xorg.0.log file. Your problem is:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 8. Server aborting
This is not a hardware problem. It is the nv driver.
I had similar problems with my 7800GS.
The thread was discussed here:

As a workaround you have to use the vesa driver till we have X 7.x
HTH,
Andreas.
P.S.: By the way ... will we switch to X 7.x in 4.1 ? The vesa driver
can be annoying, because I can't watch movies in fullscreen with mplayer. ;)
