I want to add "Thanx!" first... I am still in limbo even after the fix. This may be a consequence of my being too new to know if *I* have hosed up something or the fix is missing the mark.
Please, tell me what to do to test this appropriately? I have tried several ways but every time I install the nvidia-glx package the reboot leaves X unable to start. I then must go into xorg.conf and change from nvidia to nv to get back up in gui. I am running a GeForce4 4200 Ti AGP8, also known as nv28. This is in my Dell Laptop. I have looked under restricted manager and am unsure whether enabling the nvidia restricted drivers (for Desktop Effects,) installs the nvidia-glx-new or just the nvidia-glx. (I think it is the nvidia-glx.) Of course when X won't start, and I change to "nv", the restricted manager, and Desktop Effects, complains that I must install the restricted drivers again! I have also, tried to go back to square-one via the command-line in the top of the xorg.conf file, but that does not help either. Suggestions?
