I bought an Nvidia MX 4000 (10de:0185 (rev c1)), and am having problems with it. If I remove xorg.conf and let the nvidia installer build a new one, I can run startx and X srarts up. I get a blue screen and the mouse works, but the keyboard does not. I can log in over SSH, and find that the system locks up for several seconds at a time, until the system locks up completely. At that point, a reset is necessary. I see the same results with the livna RPM and the native installer from Nvidia.
