This looks like a good point at which to break into the thread -
although my problem is with sound and not with video.

It is a very minor problem.  Everything works, but my `messages' log is
littered with complaints about IRQ conflicts and non-found modules.  An
extract is attached.

Also, my newly-installed NVidia driver seems to work OK, despite the fact
that I have not scored any relevant entry in my modules.conf file.

Is there any better advice than `If it ain't broke, don't fix it'?
