I have emerged nvidia-glx, and am following the instructions here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml The instructions say to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the driver line to nvidia. However, I don't have either of those two files, and if I did, I don't kno

Sorry Drew...I accidentally replied directly rather than to the list. Anyway, I finished with the emerge of xorg-x11, but still no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 There is a xorg.conf.example though. Am I to use that and rename it? On Sunday 20 February 2005 02:35 pm, Drew Kirkpatrick wrote: > You
