   Running 6.10 with an Nvidia FX5900XT graphics card.   
      
   Following the instructions on the Edgy forum I did sudo apt-get install   
   nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common, followed by sudo nvidia-xconfig.   
      
   The word nvidia was written to xorg.conf in place of nv.   
      
   However - rebooting just gives me a black screen. I have to go into   
   recovery mode and re-write nv as the driver in xorg.conf to get a screen   
   up.   
      
   What am I doing wrong?
