If in the "Device" section of your xorg.conf it says
Code:
Driver		"nvidia"
rather than
Code:
Driver		"nv"
or anything else, then it means it worked. It also should display an Nvidia splash when X starts if they are installed properly.

Why? The terminal is so much easier. Highlight the command in Firefox, and middle click the terminal... :rolleyes:
It always takes Linux noobs a little while to forget about their Windows ways of doing things

I use Opera, and I never knew you could do that. I'm going to check if my nVidia stuff is installed, I'm not sure if it is.
