Hi, all-
The resolution problem with my monitor is fixed (thanks to all for your
advice on that) but I am having another problem. The screen periodically
becomes covered with horizontal and vertical lines. If I log out at that
point, X appears to be hosed- I just get a blank screen. If I reboot,
everything goes back to normal until the problem repeats. I am running
Mandake 8.2, and using an Nvidia card. Long before getting my new
monitor, I had loaded the Nvidia drivers, and reconfigured my
/etc/X11/XF86config4 file as the Nvidia installation instructions
specify. Now, My XF86config4 file is back to showing the driver as "nv"
instead of "nvidia" and the " load "glx"" line under Modules is missing.
WTF?
Should I just correct my config file and hope for the best? Am I looking
at one problem here or two? Most important, if I correct my XF86config4
file and am unable to restart X, how do I restore the previous settings?
