Re: Xorg configuration file for NVIDIA

 

The problem is that I can't boot with the nvidia card on, since I am using
windows 7 so there is the problem is the BIOS. And if I boot with the intel
I don't have the option to change the settings for the nvidia I believe.
Clarify me if I am saying something really stupid?
