Being a bear-of-little-brain I find it easier (and quick, say 3-4 min) to build the nvidia drivers: telinit 3 (ooops, you ubuntu folk) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run a minute or so telinit 5 All done, works with MY kernel, the end. Anyway 8756 is the version I'm using James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
