Re: [newbie] Nvidia driver from texstar install / M9.1 (ATT:Lanman)
The extra sections to edit are based on whether or not you previously had an ATi video card or not. Entries in the file could include the Option line regarding "dri", or "DPMS". I didn't finish up with the rest of the README file, but I did catch a line that mentioned something about being able to set additional options. Since I was just looking to get it running, I didn't continue with these options once I had it running. Assuming that your config file already points to the "nvidia" driver module, you're probably not going to need to edit the file at all. Still, I'd suggest keeping a copy of your original driver module and XF86Config-4 file, just in case. Mine went slicker than snot off a duck's back, so I'm pretty happy. X has been rock-solid ever since. It was pretty good with the "nv" module, but I was planning on installing the new drivers anyway. I had previously had several problems with the old driver packages from NVidia, and wasn't looking forward to this very much. Probably the reason I was pleasantly surprised! Now, if only I could get the SVHS output working, I'd be all set. I have a 42" plasmavision screen that's dying to become a computer monitor!

Re: [newbie] Nvidia driver from texstar install / M9.1
Just throwing in my 2 cents worth here, but I really like the new NVidia driver package. Took all of 1 minute to install and configure. Who says you can write installation systems that work? Just had to make a copy of my XF86Config-4 file, ran the shell script to install the NVidia package, and edited a few minor things in the existing XF86Config-4 file. They put together one sweet install if you ask me! Had to modify X so it wouldn't launch on start-up, backed up the X config file, ran the file they provided, and edited may as many as three lines in XF86Config-4. After that, "startx" did the trick. Don't know whether or not the Texstar RPM's work as nicely as this, but if not, this new install system is good to go! Thing is, this driver package is supposed to be able to compile itself for many kernels, and distributions. That's impressive! Nice to see what a company can do when they put their heads together. I just became an NVidia fan!

You should be able to uncomment the line for dbe extension. Also since the log shows it is failing when it is trying to detect the screen I am wondering if it is your screen config it does not like. You could try reducing the default colour depth as an experiment DefaultColorDepth 16 and you could try selecting a monitor with a higher refresh rate.
