    Ok, so I made the switch to nvidia, 6600GT. Now what? Following the
    instructions on the nvidia website I used YOU to install the patch and all
    seemed to go well there. It then said, "...logout, login back in and you're
    fine..." Apparently not. Check with SAX2 still shows card as VESA
    framebuffer device. I tried deleting that and specifying the 6600GT card and
    got some hiccups and a big burp. Lost the X system. Is there something
    else I need to do to get the card recognized and running? Should I follow
    the X configure step listed even though the site seemed to think this would
    be done already? Sorry. I am a babe in the woods here. Richard
