[clug] Has anyone got a recent nVidia card working multi-resolution?

[Duncan Roe]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for that. Yes I know it's the FOSS driver and I'm attempting to build the
driver from the NVidia web site - do you know if it'll work better?

I say attempting because it very cleverly detected that I'd upgraded to gcc-4.2
from gcc-3.3 after building the kernel which I thought was pretty impressive. I
trimmed too much with make xconfig and my latest attempt doesn't boot - but I'll
get there.

I'm running Slackware of various vintages - but I did upgrade the "x" part to
Slackware-12.2 (xorg 1.4.2). That wasn't a complete success to begin with - it
missed that /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc had changed from being a directory to being
a file. Keyboard did not work well until I found that, but I digress.
