     @douglasawh Has using envy not helped? It seems to do a good job of detecting, downloading, configuring and installing nvidia drivers.

     @jobias I think the issue is there is still ATI stuff hanging around. I did install envy, but I'm guessing I need to run something too?

     @jkt yeah, I installed envyng-core. I didn't run anything though. I'm about to head home from work, so, I'll look into more tomorrow

     @wally problem right now is that x won't start. perhaps, more accurately, #gdm will not start. if I startx it shows a mouse and just hangs

     @vitorboschi @kimus thanks for responses. I'll look into it again tomorrow and see if I can get something working from command line

     @wally I won't get to work for like 9 hours or more, but I'll check when I get there

     @wally that may prove to be very insighful. metacity was giving errors, but I don't have them fixed yet
