I had the some problem last night. I fixed it this morning, some how it broke when i upgrade somehting, but i dont know.
That's the recipe: note: i'm not sure if all the steps are necesary, that's because it worked for me this way. 1. rmmod nvidia 2. apt-get remove --purge nvidia-kernel* 3. cd /usr/src if you have any nvidia*deb in there remove it. If you have modules/nvidia-kernel, remove the directory too. Ok, so far, we clean up (i believe something needed to refresh, but i don't know other way ;) ) 5. module-assistant update 6. module-assistant auto-install nvidia 7. apt-get install nvidia-glx 8. modprobe nvidia 9. restart X. Enjoy nvidia. Regards On 7/11/05, KS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I thought of restarting my machine after the browser was getting stuck > at some websites since last night.
