RE: X, video card,monitor, refresh rates, etc.

Dodol:

Thanks for the help.  My kernel is 2.6, the "sarge" distribution, so looks
like I have to go to the nvidia website.  The command you referenced- I
didn't quite understand it.  Was it:

apt-get nvidia-kernel-'uname -r', nvidia-kernel-common,
nvidia-kernel-source, nvidia-glx

all on one line (for future reference; trying to learn the intricacies of
Debian Linux)?

Thanks,
Allen
