My xorg log file with the problem no longer exists but I believe the problem was related to glx. > What exactly did you see as problems? The nvidia splash screen loading, dark screen flicker several times, then the nvidia splash loading again. This repeated several times, then stopped on a dark screen. On manual reinstall of the nvidia driver it complained about the previous nvidia installation having been modified since it was initially installed (glx library symbolic link in usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions). After the install was complete (with no changes to xorg.conf) the driver worked fine. mike. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
