Thanks for this.  A recent sid upgrade borked X and it would appear the
'nv' module had disappeared.  I resorted to a backup system on a
different partition but avoided updating for a while.  I spotted your
post and thought I'd try to recover the main system and whoopie!

I had to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg because I'd been playing around
trying to fix the problem orginally but other than that, I have the best
clarity of diplay I've seen .... and it wsn't bad before :)

Thanks again.

Clive
