Try 'modprobe nvidia' to see if you can load the kernel module. Might be worth appending 'nvidia' to /etc/modules to make sure it is always loaded at boot. If you can't load the module then it probably isn't compiled for the current kernel yet. To fix that do: m-a -t prepare m-a -t a-i nvidia modprobe nvidia -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
