Many mail browsers (my own included) organize by the in-reply-to header (at least I think that's the one): In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have probably organized your post in the middle of a VMWare discussion, just as mine has. Thanks in advance! I recompiled nvidia-drivers, for one thing, I don't think you should have had to recompile the nvidia-drivers for the update, you're moving from two nvidia cards that are both supported by the same (most recent) version of the driver from what I can tell on nvidia's site. The same driver can drive both cards. You would want to recompile if you changed Secondly, you might want to try upgrading the drivers, as the 8600 is a more recent card than the 6600 and you might need new drivers. Just make sure you did an emerge --sync some time recently and that shouldn't be a problem. And finally, it's not really a 'recompile' (even though we _both_ called it one) because the nvidia drivers are binaries - nvidia hasn't released open sources for them. but when I tried running X, I got a blank screen. You might need to reconfigure the Devices section of X. In my mind, the best way to do this is to run X -configure from ~/ and then copy-paste the relevant section of the new file (configured for your new 8600) to the old file (replace the 6600 device lines with those for 8600). Couldn't get back to the console. I assume Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6] didn't help you. If not, it almost sounds like X is locking up. reminds me of this[1] release highlight (this driver came out 1/21/08): Fixed a bug that caused the X driver to crash if the X.Org GLX extension module was loaded intead of NVIDIA’s. Fixed a bug in the Linux/i2c algorithm driver implementation that prevented core transfer types from succeeding. Best of luck to you!
