Thanks,
I was able to get the driver to install using this method. I have another 
issue though. The Geometry changes when using SaX2 and selecting the nvidia 
driver. Geometry changes to 1400X1050 when I "Test" and I can't get it to go 
to 1600X1200. On my laptop this resolution looks lousy. And, I've checked 
XF86Config and don't find the place where resolution is set. Being that 
everything else works, could I save with the higher Geometry setting and not 
testing?
Or where would I find the Geometry setting to manually change it?
Thanks.
