the modconf command essentially does what you would be doing with modprobe, but in a "GUI" way. Both modconf, m-a are explained in their man pages (not very clear but good enough if you know what they do). Documentation on nvidia can be found at http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html It has been a long time since I have looked at these, so there might be other new documents as well. raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $200,000 Loan for as Low as $771/mo Other refi and home equity loans available.
