Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I've been unable to find it here. I'm fairly new to linux but after four other distros this is the best I've found for my PII 350. I've been using DSL for the last month (and have loved it!) or so and finaly decided to try to get my old nvidia card configured with XFree86. I've followed all the documentation here and on the myDSL download but am getting the below error when I attempt to start x:
| Code Sample | (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/XF86Config
Undefined Device "nvidia" referenced by Screen "Screen0".
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
Fatal server error:
no screens found
|
my .xserverrc contains:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp
This is my XF86Config file:

Sorry for all the code but I thought touch much info would be better than not enough.
Thanks.
