Make sure you update the xorg.conf file after
installing the nvxbox driver before rebooting.
I have spent days working on this and just got
everything working last night.
I did not make the jump to kernel 2.6, as everything I
have seen so it is not worth the time and effort. So
still running the kernel that comes in 1.1.4 build of
xebian.
