updated to the nvidia drivers


updated the drivers to use my nvidia geforce 9500 -- by the way I have had lots of problems with the latest distros ... (FED 16) as well and my geforce 9500 trying to do dual monitors. I am using the twinview configuration for my X desktop, but I am not pleased with it. I will devote a thorough post to this later on ...

this is my current driver setting ...

and my current /etc/X11/xorg.conf
