Hi John,

That's the way I found em. In /etc/X11 there were the two files XF86Config
and XF86Config-4.

Nope. Just a standard RH7.0 install on a single headed workstation.

Well I defined the other resolutions so I could run VMware in full screen
mode in those resolutions without the black border. But I find I run it more
in windowed mode anyway so maybe I'll just go back to having 1024 at 16bpp
only.

I managed to get the 0.9-5 nVidia drivers loaded, the NVIDIA-kernel through
SRPM and the NVIDIA-glx through normal RPM. The display *is* better but
after about 10 minutes the screen glitches and X locks up completely.
After playing with libraries etc I think I've really screwed it now so going
to reinstall RH7 and have another go...
