Thank you for your answer. I understand all but the warning "YOU MUST HAVE THE KERNEL SOURCE MERGED TO DO IT." As a Linux 'newbie' this is baffling, but I would like to learn how to do this. I downloaded the instructions from the Nvidia site, but again, that is difficult for the beginner. All help is appreciated.

YOU MUST HAVE THE KERNEL SOURCE MERGED TO DO IT I don't understand this. ctrl+alt+f1 //because of graphic mode must be disable OK I understand this log at root su passwd telinit 3 //to switch non graphic mode cd path-to -your-nvidia-driver-you're-download sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run all i tell you is in the nvidia web site When I get this far I am told "no precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel." It will not download from nvidia site. Also, it tells me "could not compile gcc-version-check.c" edit you're /etc/X11/xorg.conf and at the line where you have Driver="nv" put Driver="nvidia" In the Module section of the file, Comment the following lines with a #: #Load "dri" #Load "GLCore" add the line (if it does not already exist): Load "glx" -- Didier FABERT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
