 Not sure if this went though sicne I had a bounce back but I'll say it
again to be sure.

It's the actual Bios screen for my card. so this will not work

Add
          Option "NoLogo" "True"

  It's the screen that says Nvidia Geforce 2 MX 440
    64 MB of ram
   VGA bios

   is the screen that comes up.
And I already know about the NoLogo option if I  used the nvidia driver
which I can't use since my card stopped working with
   the legacy driver even if it's supported (Seems to be bad hardware since
the
   system is on it's last legs when dealing with some things.)
