so, no, "nvidia" is not loaded. I tried modprobe nvidia, and got: "modprobe: can't locate module nvidia" I'm using the debian nvidia packages, which I compiled myself to fit a self-rolled kernel. nvidia-glx is 1.0.3123-4, nvidia-kernel-long-kernel-name is 1.0.3123-3 (odd that the package version is different) I guess these are somewhat old. I just dpkg -i --reinstall 'ed them without a hitch, but nonetheless nvidia.o does not appear in /lib/modules/kernel-version/kernel/drivers/video. Should it? This is all very strange since nvidia worked fine until yesterday afternoon... matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
