It does appear to be loading nvidia but I don't see the splash screen.
I also notice that it takes longer to log out for some reason. It logs
in like always, about 10 seconds or so, but when I log out, it takes 45
seconds or so. Maybe the splash screen is off by default. I dunno.
I'm assuming you are using evdev and hal. I'm back to the old way.
It's just easier for me to keep working, if I can get my wheel to work
again. I have another install that I may play with some but it's not
going to be on my main OS again. I'm waiting on something else.
Someone mentioned devicekit is a 'up n comer'. Sounds good to me.
Saves this for the other install.
