Okay I followed the Wiki as instructed to the letter. Same EXACT problem. It
all seems to go fine, but I get a black screen when X starts. Not like a
back-lit one either. Like "power off" black. I know X is running, I can see
the processes, and it doesn't seem locked up either. I just can't see
anything.

I don't run KDM or any other manager like that.

locutus ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
Current Operating System: Linux locutus.daevid.com 2.6.23-gentoo-r9 #3
PREEMPT Tue Mar 4 18:28:41 PST 2008 i686
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER

Shows no errors that I see right?

locutus ~ # lsmod | grep nvidia

Thanks for the ideas, I think it's just this P.O.S. card and the fact that
nVidia is screwing me by not supporting it anymore in these later drivers.
Not sure why Willie's works though. That is curious, hopeful and frustrating
at the same time.
