Huh? Would you please try that in English?
That, plus looking at the config file, gave me a clue, and I tried an
experiment. I had:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
NvAGP 0
NoLogo 0
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
And that didn't work. I changed it to:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
Option "NvAGP" "0"
Option "NoLogo" "0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
And that worked. Thank you.
It would be nice of Nvidia to document it or at least provide some
examples. I had no reason to believe that the text in the README was
to be taken literally; I assumed that "option foo bar" was a heading,
not literal text. Grrrr.
Oh, since I got the logo on start, I assume that option should be "1",
not "0". I'll try that next.
