Ahh, thanks for the referral to that website; I was able to find relevant information about what my current problem is actually caused by (NVIDIA driver not being able to probe for supported resolutions, although the fact that it still doesn't recognize the existence of my monitor is disturbing >_>). Before I do anything rash, I'll post the log and configuration file here (this is under the kernal where I am able to use GUI; the other kernals where I didn't manually install the NVIDIA driver can only use command line)
