Hi,
Thanks for the ideas so far. I had already tried startx and that fails and
comes back to the command prompt. I have tried the re-emerging of the drivers
and even gone as far as running ldd against X and another package I forgot the
name of and re-emerged the packages that contained the files that it it linked
against as well as re-emerging those packages. I too had run into the nvidia
and kernel headers issue when I tried to downgrade the nvidia driver. That was
the real reason I dropped back to the nv driver while I was sorting this out, I
have all of the right pieces together to run the nvidia driver but want to keep
that out if the mix for right now.
I have not tried the debugging setting or the new user. Off to try those now.
Thanks to all,
Jim
