All:
I am having problems installing and using the driver (x11-driver-video-nvidia71xx-1.0-7185.5mdv2008.0.i586)
for my TNT Riva2 card. While it seemed to install fine, I don't know what to set in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in
order for Xorg to detect it. I tried nvidia but the .so nvidia driver is in a nvidia71xx directory inside the /usr/lib/
Xorg/modules/drivers directory; and, therefore, undetectable by Xorg. . I then copied the .so nvidia driver into
the /usr/lib/Xorg/modules/drivers directory, changed the entry in the xorg.conf file to nvidia from nv, then
restarted X. It came back stating that it didn't know what nvidia meant. Any suggestions? Thank you.

First, set line length to wrap at 60 or so.

Second, while I am not familiar with TNT Riva2 cards,
if it takes an nvidia driver, you might try running
nvidia-xconfig

Cheers!

Jim:
I would be glad to reset the line length; unfortunately, I don't find any way
to do that with Pan 1.3.2. Anyone?

Does Pan 0.132 perhaps use Kate or some other editor
for composition? If so, line length might be set there.

Cheers!

You might consider upgrading to the fully-featured version.
