So, got the new S13. Installed it, ran my custom SlackMods (written for
12.2) script on it, noted the required tweaks to update, tweaked manually.

Just 20 minutes to install stuff (as "full") a,ap,d,l,n.x.xp

A few minutes sorting out the required mods to install the NVIDIA
drivers, and...

Total lockup on firing up X.

Doncha just love NVIDIA?

Create new xorg.conf with X -configure...

Total lockup on firing up X.

Next up, uninstall the NVIDIA stuff and generate a new xorg.conf, again,
and see if there is some other SNAFU in there.

Not one problem with KDE so far. (Not installed. :)

It is really high time this was sorted. Having just rebuilt this PC with
onboard ATI graphics, and reused the old mobo and graphics card in a media
pc I thing both main vendors drivers are equally tricky to install.

"Required mods" for Nvidia driver? Huh?

Yes, I do. Haven't had any trouble with it at all.

The xorg.conf file is no longer required.

I don't see how the Nvidia install could be any easier than it is.
Seriously.

If so where do I put the 'option "ActiveDevice" "DFP"' I need for my dvi
via cx700? Where to put the layout when one uses multiple monitors?
