That could be right, Alan... I'm not sure what my friend has done exactly, but what's happened is that on bootup nvidia fails to load and if we select the restricted driver the machine won't boot... it won't even go into x at all. We then have to do a dpkg-reconfigure to reset the graphics to the defaults.
If I Google for nvidia and intrepid I get many sob stories and I don't have the time to spend my entire life helping him as I need to also work, so for the moment he's got no graphics accelleration etc. BUT at least he has what is - effectively - a working Intrepid install for most things. If he wants Google Earth then he's out of luck - but if he wants shell, word processor, e-mail or whatever he'll be fine!
