Try deleting $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc as that file sometimes gets corrupted resulting in nvidia-settings not launching. Also, try running nvidia-settings from the command line (terminal window) to see what errors it kick up. You could have a borked xorg.conf - sometimes autodetection is screwy and you need to check it to see if any weird stuff is set up. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
