[64studio-users] 64 Studio 2.0 @i386 and NVIDIA

[Icemouse]

Hi :)

now I can connect to the internet. To integrate pppoeconf has been easy 
but I've got still problems with my NVidia GeForce4 MX 440.

It isn't possible for me to change the frequencies of the monitor.

Using 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and 'nvidia-xconfig' I edited 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to


# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (randy at juliet2)  Fri Dec 30 21:53:37 PST

but the frequencies doesn't change, what ever they has been configured, 
with Suse 10.2 I'm using this frequencies on the same computer.

Before the login the NVIDIA-logo is displayed, maybe there has been a 
package loading something down from NVIDIA, at this time I can found the 
following packages installed:

In a nutshell:

The frequencyV is @ 59.8Hz but has to be something around 69.4Hz.
