I have never done that - per definition, it _should_ always work with autodetection magic (and then load the "nvidia" driver). However, specific settings seem to work better when you have an autogenerated xorg.conf file, and you can apply custom alterations to that file if you need. The idea of partial configuration files is that those will override only given aspects of the autodetected configuration (like forcing a specific screen size that deviates from what the autodetection thinks is right). Again, nvidia might be such a case that's a little different from everything else. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
