Hi again,
For those mot up to date. I built a new rig that has a Nvidia GT220
card in it. I bought a brand new monitor this morning, a LG W2253,
and
it worked one time. I had to reboot to move some things around and
when
I rebooted, the GUI doesn't come up. The BIOS screen shows up and I
can
see the services start up as well but when it switches to vt7, it
just
has a little blinking cursor at the top.
Have you changed the kernel? The nvidia-drivers (as well as the ati-
drivers) have to be re-emerged after (nearly) any change to the kernel.
Just re-emerge it, unload and reload the corresponding kernel module
and try again to startx.
Helmut.
Also, when emerging the "nvidia-drivers", try making sure that
"/usr/src/linux" points to the actual linux-sources you are booting from.
(Not sure if necessary, but I always have that symlink to the current kernel)

That I know is important. Since this is a new build, it only has one
kernel installed and it is pointing to the right one. Good call tho.
That would cause problems for sure and could be easily forgotten.
Thanks.
