nvidia graphic set up on desktop premium 4

[in2media]

im trying to setup my graphic card on desktop 4 premium. i read on tuxmachines website that this distro uses the nvidia drivers anyway?
but when im searching the internet and want to scroll down a page the page is slow and jerky. gets a line in the middle which slowly rises to the top as the page scrolls down
my grahic card is geforce 5600 128m/b

There are a number of things that could cause display lag like that. First, let's see if the Nvidia drivers are installed correctly. Open up a terminal (might be called Console; it's been a while since I looked at Xandros) and type:

glxgears

This should pop up a little box with some colored gears in it. Keep an eye on the console in the background. It will report your frames per second (FPS). Take note of those and post them here. Generally if your drivers are working correctly, your FPS should be greater than 1,000.

sorry for the late reply had a problem with computer
once i'd installed the graphic card driver
then as root, Open the filebrowser, browse to /etc/X11/
Right-click on 'xorg.conf', select Open With -> Text Editor.
then i In the Device section, replace the line:

Driver "nv"
(or Driver "vesa")

with

Driver "nvidia"
Save, close editor.
browse to /etc/
Right click on the 'modules' file, select Open With -> Text Editor.
Add the line (at the bottom of the file):
nvidia



all worked great then i had to turn my pc off to move to another room, when i came to turn it back on all i got was ascreen saying "modules not found"

so if anyone has any more info or wants to work on this with me please let me know via the forum
once again sorry fo the delay
