Looks like my life too a better turn to a better place... Read in a html
page I found that driver version 4496 doesn't work with the flat panel. They
suggested installing version 4363, and then it worked! Now it's just the
mouse that's playing havoc, but I think I'll manage that on my own.

You can run the "nv" driver that came with XFree86 4.3.0. It
should work OK. If it doesn't let me know. It's usually just a
matter of tweaking an XF86Config file option if it doesn't
"just work" (sometimes it picks the wrong head and you have to
specify the "CrtcNumber" option as specified in the nv man page).
Mark.
