Sweet!
It's been a full day since someone was insulted on this this.

emails

	It really doesn't take that long to put a subject line in an
email.

	The specific reason you are getting the error message is here:
	
	Section "Device"
	Identifier "nVidia Corporation NV41 [GeForce 6800 GS]"
	Driver "nv"
	BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
	EndSection
	
	Your config is using the open source "nv" driver instead of the
nVidia
	proprietary "nvidia" driver.  If you change the line to:
	
	Driver "nvidia"
	
	the error message may go away.  Of course, so might X.  It is,
	however, a place to start.
