Hi Brad, Yeah, i lost focus due to frustrations and wrote down an incorrect pathname. Should have had some tea much sooner ;-) What i've figured so far is nomodeset is mostly required by older hardware, this is an "NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro FX 360M]" graphics card which is quite old. Almost unsupported. My system logs were littered with segfault errors on gnome-shell and quite a few other programs. Since late last night there are no segfault errors anymore, it means I've done something right ;-) My system was left running for hours today with a few segfault sensitive applications running, no errors whatsoever, hurray. I wrote a guide on my experience. http://www.oxitech.info/helpdesk/nvidia.html Right now, i hope I have not been deluding myself but at least it's a stable delusion so far :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
