first of all, you're version of XFree86 is quite old (4.2.0). Current stable is 4.4.0, so I highly recommend you to upgrade it, as you're videocard is much better supported now. Second thing I think could be a problem, is that you are using the vesa driver. Try to change this to the nv driver provided by xfree (Section "Device" in /etc/X11/XF86Config), or download and install the binary drivers from nvidia (http://www.nvidia.com), which support 3D acceleration, but are not open source. > Rgds > Andi Martin Hth, Michael Btw: Not shure, if rajesh k has the same problem, because there was no log attached. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
