I did succeed. I have a nice xfce desktop running now. I needs a bit more but
it is up and running.

I see this..

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF119 [GeForce GT 610]
(rev a1)
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. GF119 [GeForce GT 610]
                Kernel driver in use: nouveau

I usually run the nvidia drivers but I inslalled Quake along with quakespasm
yesterday and it runs nicely with the nouveau driver.

I'll keep the nvidia drivers handy but so far I don't need them.

When I ran the nvidia drivers I never saw any penguins, I'm not sure why.

I prefer the nouveau driver because I can add video=640x480 (or other modes I
suppose) and I get a 80x30 terminal screen, just the way I like it.

When running the nvidia driver I get an 80x25 screen and I can't seem to
change it anymore. In the past I used vga=???? and was able to get other
screen dimentions but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

The penguins don't matter much as long as the machine boots but it's curious
whatever happened to them. I'm almost certain if I use the nvidia drivers I
won't see them anymore.
