    Needing graphics help..

    I installed the NVIDIA drivers for my Geforce 5700, and when X tries to load I get

    Code:
    (EE) NVIDIA(0): Your GeForce FX 5700 Ultra graphics card does not have the
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      necessary external power cables attached; X will not
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      start unless this is rectified.

    The cords are plugged in, and it refers for me to do a "NoPowerConnectorCheck" if I want it to bypass it.. I'm willing to do that, but my question is where do I need to? I'm using Ubuntu 5.4, any help is appreciated


    Thanks

    pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Go down to where the screen section is.


    Code:
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "NVIDIA Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX 5700 Ultra]"
        Monitor         "Acer AL1912"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           16
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
Option "NoPowerConnectorCheck" "true"
EndSection

    Put it right before the EndSection just like I did there. If anyone has any questions, like I said, I'm still kinda new, but I'm willing to help
