The tainting isn't important for our purposes. It has to do with Nvidia's driver being closed-source. > Then when I try to startx I get > > (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) > (EE) No drivers available > > And in the log file there is a line > > (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia The Xfree nvidia module should probably be in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia.o It looks like it isn't there. Your xfree86log can tell you where it's looking. (grep -i for nvidia) Ok, can you try removing (rpm -e) the nvidia_glx and nvidia_kernel modules, then rpm --rebuild once more time? If this still fails, I'd like to see the output of: rpm -qa | grep kernel as well as your Xfree86.log again and maybe even the XF86Config. I'm still sort of a [vox-tech] newbie, so I'm not sure how people feel about clogging up the archives and their inboxes with big, fat files. You can send them directly to me if you think it's more appropriate. > Thanks for all the help, Save that for when X is working and you can play Unreal Tournament again :) -troy _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
