Do you actually do work there that you can't do while X is running? Because ye olde VGA should work in any case and it's good enough for entering "startx" or watching the machine resume from disk ;)=20 > I'm guessing if there is alternative driver that gives Nvidia 3D accel, > (like for ATI I can use radeon instead of fglrx). >=20 > I don't care too much about performance (no desktop 3D effects or > composite are needed) and I'm not a game player.
