you will need many packags from the desktop install though from a technical standpoint either should work fine.

hmmm ok that got me a little further along.  It will now pop me into the configuration wizard, but after I select the proper resolution it goes to make that adjustment and never makes it back.  The machine hardlocks at this point.  Has LinuxMCE been tested with the Nvidia 9631's before?  Something is going quite horribly wrong I am afraid...

How do you get it to stop checking for this package?  I don't have it installed (i do however have the driver present and working).  I have the entire thing installed, but I can't get to the configuration wizard without it complaining about nvidia-glx and trying to downgrade my kernel.  Again, I do have the driver installed, just not through the package.  There must be a way to force it not to check, im just not sure where...

Thanks, DBO
