Swtching to another distro won't help, they al use the same XFree driver.
From what your saying, it sounds like your display configuration utility's are giving troubles, am I right?
I suppose that after installing whatever distro you have a nice X screen, only not accelerated, so install the detonator package and edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Japie's XFree86 setup."
Screen "Display1" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"

If al is well, the only thing you have to change is `driver` in the `Device` section from nv to nvidia.
Further look at the `Module` section, you really need all off them to do something. |
