    But nouveau is much less stable than nv. For testing purposes, go with
    stable.

    I'm not sure why it won't run his screen though. I can use nv to run a
    1920x1200 laptop LCD. It *is* dog slow (although nouveau was not any
    better with a NV17 / 440-Go -- render support for AA fonts seems to be
    missing), but it does work.
