Yes I have read: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml and it looks fine and reasonable, in fact the I'm at the revdep-rebuild on my first of 7 convertions to modular X.(7.*). My first card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2) Legacy or current? It's not clear to me which category this or any other nvidia cards fall into. Is there a table I can look up to see which nvidia cards belong to which driver. In xorg.conf do I use do 'nv' or 'nvidia' or 'nvidia-legacy' Driver "nv" Driver "nvidia" Driver "nvidia-legacy" With my hardware, which current nvidia driver (legacy) would I emerge to match my card? On another gentoo workstation It has this card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) Which Driver would I choose for this nvidia card?
