i'm not sure if you've seen a reply to this already. My mailserver (hosted in Seattle) died for a bit, and mail is just starting to get through now.
Have a quick look through /etc/X11/XF86Config, and see if the install messed up X. I find debian doesn't preserve that file, and I keep having to re-edit it (remind me to set up a diversion...) The other thing to look at is /var/log/X-whatever. It's handy for telling you why X failed to start. Actually, do those in the opposite order. Log file first, config second. things to watch for in the config are the proper driver (nvidia rather than nv), and to make sure that GLCore and dri aren't being loaded, since nvidia handles these separately. good luck. Greg --- - dave is on permanent record as saying: :Hi CLUGies : :everything was running fine but when I reinstalled the latest version :of the NVIDA driver the display manager refused to start : :I have checked run levels etc. , and followed all the install :instructions for the NVIDA driver (which I have used previously :without problems), made the recommended mod to "/etc/innittab" all as :per previous installation etc. etc.
