Newbie laptop problem

Hi! I started a thread a while back:

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=16125

I havn't been able to load up cirtain files I was asked for until yesterday. I put this thread in to say that I am back and hoping someone will give me a hand. (Incase anyone thought I had gone...)

Thx for any help!

Re: Newbie laptop problem

instead of using hwd's xorg.conf  run " xorgconfig "
but before you do look at xorg.conf by hwd for

HorizSync  28-96
VertRefresh 50-75

<these are my settings use what hwd generated for yours
also take note of

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NVIDIA"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VideoRam    32768

yours im sure is diffrent

by default xorgconfig comments out alot of stuff

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

    Load        "dbe"      # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
    EndSubSection

# This loads the font modules
    Load        "type1"
#    Load        "speedo"
    Load        "freetype"
#    Load        "xtt"

# This loads the GLX module
    Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
#    Load       "dri"

notice all the stuff with a # at begining of line that means it willnot load it
you got everything loading from what i seen of your X
so run xorgconfig then look at you xorg.conf youll have a bunch of help  put in the file
give it a try
