[clug] quick Q: how do I enable DVI?

[Red Phoenix]

Not sure if this helps at all, but using the nvidia module on a FX 5200 on 
FC4 required no changes, I just plugged the new flatscreen into DVI out, and 
things worked for me straight up.

Critical sections of xorg.conf (as you can see - nothing special):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "BenQ FP937s"
HorizSync 31.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
# Driver "nv"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Note though - I'm using xorg rather than X11:
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-tools-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-xauth-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-37
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-37


Regards,

Leigh.
