I'm using 1.0 RC1, and I got XFree86 and nvidia.dsl

I loaded both of them, changed my .xserverrc to the following:

Code Sample
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -screen 1280x1024x3 -nolisten tcp -I &>/home/dsl/xserv.log


I then copied the nvidia accel ready file from the config. file folder to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and changed the line saying "Driver      "nv"" (line 178) to Driver "nvidia".  Then I made a .dsl extension with all of the config files in it so that they are persistent.
When I exit the xServer and type xinit, I get no error message.  It flashes the nvidia logo, but with slightly messed up colours, and it flickers in a wierd way.
When the logo stops, it shows many wierdly coloured rectangular shapes.  It seems to recognize my keyboard, as the caps lock light can be switched, and when I press alt+F2, or alt+F1 the rectangles change.

I turned off my computer, and rebooted to read the log.

Here it is:

It seems that when I use the vesa config file, it sort of works...

It doesn't work with nvidia.dsl, and there are no icons on the desktop and the right-click menu contains xterm, restart, and exit
