Boot problem (Video related)

[Guest jkcavenaugh]

OK, I'm sure I've most likely used up my quota of questions today, but I seem to have made things worse.

 

I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200

 

I'm providing relevant settings from my current XF86Config file from /etc/X11 as well as my relevant events from my boot log.

 

THANKS!

So this does mean that your NVidia card is working with X right now right?

[Guest jkcavenaugh]

Yes it is... I've got so many other problems though, I'm close to throwing in the towel... If I could learn this, it would be a GREAT skillset to have, but everytime I fix one thing, I break 2 more... ugh.

 

Right now my USB mouse no longer responds even though I verified necessary entries in XF86Config-4, I'm still having sound problems...
