    Hi,
     Me again...now that I have my Cisco 350 working...I have X working fine
    - and I've downloaded what appears to be the latest 1.0-4365 driver from
    nVidia.com. I've tried to get the driver working - but no luck. Below
    is my XF86Config file...but it doesn't appear to work - how can I
    determine what the proper parameters are?

    Section "Monitor"
            Identifier "Monitor0"
            VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
            ModelName "Monitor Model"
            HorizSync 31.5 - 82.0
            VertRefresh 50.0 - 100.0
    EndSection
     

    Section "Device"
     

            ### Available Driver options are:-
            ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
            ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
            ### [arg]: arg optional
            #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>]
            #Option "HWcursor" # [<bool>]
            #Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>]
            #Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>]
            #Option "ShadowFB" # [<bool>]
            #Option "UseFBDev" # [<bool>]
            #Option "Rotate" # [<str>]
            #Option "VideoKey" # <i>
            #Option "FlatPanel" # [<bool>]
            #Option "FPDither" # [<bool>]
            #Option "CrtcNumber" # <i>
    >>>> Identifier "Device"
            Driver "nvidia"
            VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
            BoardName "NV11 [GeForce2 Go]"
            ChipSet "GeForce2 Go"
            BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
     
    Section "Screen"
            Identifier "Screen0"
            Device "Device"
            Monitor "Monitor0"
            DefaultDepth 24
            SubSection "Display"
                    Depth 16
            EndSubSection

    The line marked above is the one that causes me the concern. Please
    help - I'm trying to get this working with the official nVidia drivers.
