Thanks Charles,

This *almost* worked.  I blacklisted the nvidia driver, and did the acpi
shut off thing...  The only way I can boot to desktop is to launch recovery
and select the limited graphics X option.  Then it "works" fine... but it's
less than optimal video performance.  I'm not looking to game or even turn
on any fancy desktop effects, just want my productivity apps to render
correctly and do monitor spanning.

Is there any hope/benefit in the upcoming sandy bridge support in natty
narwhal alpha builds?  Alpha 3 is going to be released in a few days.

Erik
