Make sure to put it in the HOWTO section with a descriptive title and<br>include the sample sections of the xorg.conf file, those are extremely<br>helpful for new users (especially if you put comments on what the<br>important lines are doing and what needs to be changed). Also, I would
<br>suggest being clear in the article about which cards are supported,<br>what versions of software are known to work, etc. Write in the<br>assumptions, too - for example, assume that they have the binary<br>nvidia drivers already installed and working for vga, that they have a
<br>supported model, and that they have the svideo->component dongle<br>(provide some more information on that dongle if you can).</blockquote><div><br>I probably fell short in this area but I tried to clean it up a little bit and put in as much as I know.
