Xorg detected the change and switched to the non-accelerated nv driver. I then went to Nvidia's site, grabbed the driver, had to mess around with xorg.conf for a while to get acceleration working properly, but all in all it only took about 45 minutes. I can understand your wariness though, I've had big problems in the past, but I think Xorg is a lot more intelligent at defaulting to a sensible config these days. Still, Benjamin Lewis' advice is worth taking. Chris.
