With the nvidia driver I can use the docking station's video out to drive my big monitor without any problem, but with the nv driver it doesn't seem to pump bits to the monitor at all. If I try to start X the monitor immediately goes into power save mode. If I turn off the monitor and open the laptop lid, the nv driver works with the laptop's screen as if the docking station weren't there, but I'd prefer to use my nice big scree when I'm at home. I'd give up the graphics acceleration to be able to run my C2D in amd64 mode, but my old eyes can't give up the big monitor. :-/ Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
