Hi Karl, I am running Debian sid. Maybe you could start without kdm or gdm (just move /etc/init.d/kdm somewhere else), and stop it. If they are no running, you can start X with the command startx. The advantage is, you can see in stdout, what is not working, and why it is not working. Often this is helping to find reasons, why X will not start. The versions abobe 100.14.09 must use Xorg7.3 and higher, due to a new ABI in the Nvidia drivers. Just take care, nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx are the versions, which belong together. Sometimes it is necessary, to unload and load the nvidia-kernel module manually. Good luck ! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
