First make sure you did an rmmod nvidia (to make sure the old module is unloaded before you load the new one in) before the modprobe nvidia. If that's ok, then the quick fix is to chmod 644 /dev/nvidia* to get the perms right. If you search the forums you'll find a way to have this work for when you reboot, something in the /etc/devfsd.conf file or something. -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
