    Running Debian Testing, 2.4.25, NVIDIA-Linux 5336 driver, running 2
    cards, Gainward FX Pro 660 128MB AGP and a Gainward FX Pro 660 64MB PCI
    with 3 monitors.

    Got a new IDE hard drive, added that on my PC, installed Win2k after a
    few problems, installed the Nvidia Windows driver, rebooted, then
    Windows kept crashing at the end of 2nd stage load (right before
    starting graphics mode) and getting fed up, wiped Win2k right off the
    IDE drive, and restored the bootloader on the SCSI drive, and now
    Xfree86 isn't working for me now - when Xfree86 loads, I just see blank
    screens and stays like that, despite working just fine before installing
    Win2k, and have made no changes whatosover to XFree86/graphics configs -
    getting blank screens all the time. Uninstalled and reinstalled the
    Nvidia drivers, no help.

    Xfree86 log and config files can be found here:

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thanks very much for your help in advance

    Cheers - Piers
