CentOS - Jan 2006 - "nv" driver lock up where new version

I have had my "nv" driver lock up a number of times.

I downloaded the "nvidia" drivers and they did not work at 1920x1080 
resolution.

I am looking for an updated driver for just "nv".

I found some once for a different driver that you just update commonXXX and
yourdriverXXX not the whole X recompile.

Where can I find those drivers?

THanks,
Jerry

Sure they do. I use them for several varying resolutions, including
serveral widescreen formats. On some monitors like flatpanels or LCDs
you have to properly adjust the modeline values. I would not recommend
just ripping out the nv drivers and replacing them with differing
versions.

Jim,

I have posted my xorg.conf file as you can see I have the 1920x1080 information.
I post the log file saying nvidia is not accepting the line.

The nv driver works at the 1920x1080 information it just doesnt seem stable.
