Greg,

Perhaps I missed this somewhere in the thread, but did you ever indicate
which nVidia card you actually have?

Also, before you give up, try posting over at the nVidia Linux forums:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

to see if anyone there has any insight.

HTH,

Marc
