As I said, the machine was running perfectly before building the new
kernel. Yes, :Load glx" is uncommented. I believe I've figured out
why the drivers won't work with the old kernel. I figure that because
/usr/src/linux points to the new kernel the drivers are building
there. I'll change the sym-=link and try to build them again and then
diff the 2 .configs.
I would appreciate some more input here. Thanks all
Ernie
