I would have thought that would be fixed in the debian packages for the
nvidia driver. If not it should be. I don't run 3rd party
binaries/installers unless absolutely necesary (bad Windows trait after

I was trying to set it to something low enough to be ok for the crap
monitor I am using. I think I will try a newer monitor that I have
specs for and put in real values just in case.

True, but I had not thought of them being to low causing a problem. I
should check that.
