graphics driver issues
Hi all,
I am a college student and am taking a graphics course this fall. I
recently built a PC with an AMD64 CPU and a GeForce 6150 on board
graphics card. I seem to be having trouble getting it to use the
nvidia module, but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I installed it
using the module assistant method, and I believe that I have things
set up correctly.
output:

it appears that the nvidia module is running from the output above,
but when I attempt to start X, I get the following:
