I have updated my machine from SL 6.1 to 6.2. Absolutely no problem with: $ rpm -qa | grep nvidia kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 I did not do anything special. Just rebooted the system after the update and that's all. Do you have any error message you can show? Like /var/log/Xorg.0.log when X failed to start? Akemi
