Perhaps just an informational dialog saying "You have installed a proprietary NVidia driver which is incompatible with Mandrake $VERSION. Do you want to a) use the "nv" driver (which has no 3-D support) or b) keep your current configuration (in which case you'll need to rebuild your NVidia drivers before X will work again)? MandrakeSoft recommends use of the "nv" driver." would work? Then users are informed that there's a situation. Perhaps there should be an NVidia howto covering this issue which we can refer users to... -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The food of love is Mandrake root.
