Since I started using the nvidia driver, X startup is very slow, it flashes the screens some times and after a while it starts.
So, looking at the xfree86 logs I found this:

(**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for Display Device 0:
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "1024x768": 75.0 MHz, 56.5 kHz, 70.1 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "800x600": 56.3 MHz, 53.7 kHz, 85.1 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "640x480": 36.0 MHz, 43.3 kHz, 85.0 Hz
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1024 x 768
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display dimensions: (260, 200) mm



So I was wondering if I can skip this part by a configuration in XF86Config-4, in this file I have the modes "1024x768", "800x600" and "640x480".
My card is an ABIT Siluro Geforce4 MX440
nvidia-glx: 1.0.3123
nvidia-kernel: 1.0.3123
Xfree86: 4.2.1-r2

Thank you.

also look for extra modlines or screen options in your XF86Config

Well, it seems that is a common problem and that there isn't a general answer. I'll keep trying with the references you gave me.
Thank you.
