I have GeForce 6100 and if I use anything different than x11/nvidia-driver-173 I get some random issues. If you still get issues with x11/nvidia-driver-71 I think that you should check out some older drivers from nvidia web site. About your xorg.conf file I don't think that you need to have both Option "DPMS" and HorizSync 30-60, VertRefresh 50-76 set at the same time. As I understand it DPMS means that graphics card reads these information directly from screen so you don't have to set it yourself. I've got only Option "DPMS" set and it works fine. Rafal
