You have to reboot after installing nvidia-glx to make sure it is NOT using the neuvou kernel driver.

You have to setup X to use the nvidia driver then. apt-get install nvidia-xconfig, then run nvidia-xconfig, and that should take care of it. > Thanks a lot for advice (the case is for overclocked gaming, thus with > powerful 14cm fans). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
