Hi group
Having installed the Geforce FX5500 drivers,
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.18-pkg1.run, and ran startx the desktop
appears but the system crashes.

Notes:
"dri" was commented out in xorg.conf but uncommenting made no difference.
$ls /usr/share/fonts
default encodings ttf-bitstream-vera
and nothing in those dirs like those mentioned in (WW)
yes, ran "eselect opengl set nvidia" after drivers were emerged.
#nvidia-settings -V
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run 'nvidia-settings --help'
Is there an option I can pass to nvidia-settings to solve this, or
should I look elsewhere?
