[ale] xfree requested log

It looks like X finds the card OK but there is a problem getting the
right combination of resolution, bit depth between the card and the
monitor.

There are several Xconfig programs that will help. xf86config is the old
commandline standby. /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86cfg is a newer one. Aslo, to
really squeeze max performance from that card, get the nvidia drivers
from their site. I have an older TNT2 that suddenly became really usable
on OpenGL games like Soldier of Fortune.
