Video problem won't be fixed until 1.9x drivers are available from nvidia ... I can wait for it...
:!: I'll try other things now that the system is operational.
]]>Turns out this model of laptop doesn't work with the current nvidia 8x drivers, only the 9x drivers. Answers that problem.
Reinstalled arch64 7.2 and got it to work w/out turning off acpi. Don't know why it's working now where it didn't before...I did nothing different. However during the boot process i get LOTS of udev errors. Where can I find a log of the entire boot process? I've checked all of the logs in /var/log and didn't see anything about udev errors.
Sound works out the gate...sort of. When you go to the properties of the sound module there's only 1 option (Master) for a slider. Also, having headphones plugged in doesn't turn off the laptop speakers, nor does it pipe sound to the headphones.
P.S. Kudos to ArchLinux!!! a beryl search at google.com/linux turns us up as the 3rd link!!!
]]>I would very much appreciate help on getting this working w/nvidia driver (as opposed to nv...sucks) as well as w/o having to turn off acpi.
