Resuming Nvidia with modular X proved to be easy using the Guide,
which anyway agrees to my home-made help file from previous occasions.

The ~x86 driver pkg 8774 offered no difficulties with kernel 2.6.18 ,
except that I had to add a line to  xorg.conf :

  Section "Monitor"
  ...
  DisplaySize 280 210

to avoid having some fonts appear tiny (in KDE 3.5.4):
it was calculating DPI as 75 (wrong), not 92 (correct).
Possibly, this sb added to the trouble-shooting section of the Guide,
as others seem to have run into it (I found the solution on the Forum).
