[snip] I had to solve a similar problem: make sure you have headers and build-essential installed download the NVIDIA stuff: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run remove /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm reboot Run the NVIDIA stuff: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run Put back /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm (sym link to /etc/init.d/glx) reboot For me this worked, where the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new borked and would not run X YMMV James PS reboot is rather an admission of defeat, but it IS easy :-) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
