FC3 + Dell WUXGA Screen + NVidia = Working Configuration

[Gregory Gulik]

I did try that too and it didn't work.  I found an xorg.conf somewhere 
for my laptop that "sorta works" that does have the ModeLines.  Since 
that's the only change over a base config I'm trying to understand the 
ModeLines so I can try to make it work better.

One problem I'm having is that my display won't work at all with the 
2.6.9 kernel with the NVIDIA card that's installed in my laptop (Compaq 
R3000Z).  I'm stuck at an old 2.6.8 kernel from FC3T3.

I'm really starting to hate NVIDIA.

The "nv" driver doesn't happen to work on this particular card.
