For testing purposes, go with stable. I'm not sure why it won't run his screen though. I can use nv to run a 1920x1200 laptop LCD. It *is* dog slow (although nouveau was not any better with a NV17 / 440-Go -- render support for AA fonts seems to be missing), but it does work. --=20 Zan Lynx --=-rbt0sZQVa8wgMzyfU6Z6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBHng7eG8fHaOLTWwgRAhMlAJ0Uzwl/qwupf9IoWkBLLiQCu0/i/QCfVx25 a7yZlkrffM2PZwl/qINLPyo= =jYrN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-rbt0sZQVa8wgMzyfU6Z6--
