DaveUSB,
I have an nvidia 5200, here's what i do:
At boot (liveCD), what makes the video work for me is this:
fb1024x768
Even though that works just fine, i like this better:
Go get XFree86.dsl AND nvidia.dsl from the repository.
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub....testing
FIRST: Read the 'info' associated with those two .dsl's. Info is located to the right of where you download the .dsl's next to the file name. You have to read those in order to get the extensions to work. Don't worry, it's easy, just follow the directions exactly and use the nvidia accelerated Config. You'll know what I'm talking about when you read the 'info's. When you get that working, you should see the Nvidia logo appear when x starts up. If you have issues, post what you did in detail as well as what it's doing, also post how you are running DSL, i.e.: hd install, usb, frugal, liveCD, etc. These things help and make a difference.
Good luck.
EDIT: If you find yourself with a blank screen you can do this to get a command prompt:
alt+F1
or
alt+F2
Then you can make adjustments or
sudo shutdown -r now
to reboot.
