nvidia port

(sorry if this should be directed to -questions, but I'm using the nvidia port 
and there have been several recent posts about it)

I just replaced my video card with a RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro (from 
dmesg).  The nvidia port installed fine, X starts up, but the text is 
frustratingly blurry.

How do I go about debugging this?  If this keeps up, I'm going to need some 
thick glasses!

TIA
