Ahh, more bad advice from Peter. At least once set of video chipsets,
those from NVidia, do vastly better with the vendor supplied drivers
than with those already in any published Linux kernel. In some video
carad/monitor configuration, they won't support X at all except by
setting them to the most limited imaginable VGA setttings.

He's a newbie. And if he's got a system running with the X login setup,
i.e. default running at runlevel 5 with the previous X configuration
already up and running, he needs to change runlevel.

I swear, Peter spends his weekends making up snorky incomplete answers
just to make the newbies feel lonely and confused.
