I truly detest emails without a subject. It is rude as it doesn't give<br>
the receiver a clue as to what is in it. It also means to find it<br>
again if desired one has to scan the contents of emails rather than the<br>
subjects. Finally many spam filters (including ours) block emails<br>
without a subject - this one got through only because ALE's mail server<br>
apparently set a subject to literally say "(no subject)".<br>
<br>
It really doesn't take that long to put a subject line in an email.<br>

Subject: Re: [ale] (no subject)<br>
<br>
The specific reason you are getting the error message is here:<br>
<br>
Section "Device"<br>
Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV41 [GeForce 6800 GS]"<br>
Driver "nv"<br>
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
Your config is using the open source "nv" driver instead of the
nVidia<br>
proprietary "nvidia" driver. If you change the line to:<br>
<br>
Driver "nvidia"<br>
<br>
the error message may go away. Of course, so might X. It is,<br>
however, a place to start.<br>
