I just wonder if it works with you. What I've learned from my experiences so far. is that installing nvidia driver, can bee relatively easy :) I tried to build manually with my stock kernel but it didn't work, since the nvidia driver couldn't build. I don't know why but I followed Andrews guide(http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html). However, building nvidia drivers as a kernel module works fine. I actually did build nvidia 1.0-7676 driver this way, but it was too unstable. > > I've discovered funny stuff: > > 1. When I kill gdm and restart it as root from the > terminal - it works.

However, this differences that affect the gdm auto login, makes me wanna learn more about what's going on when you do a normal boot and a quick boot.. > > > I've found a very simple solution: Don't use the > normal autologin > feature.

I think this is a good solution, since I used this option as well. But if you change your mind, here is a easy mini-howto, which will perhaps solve your porlem. I skipped the 6th step, since I've installed the linux kernel source. And if you have the kernel source, then you can build a nvidia module, by typing "make-kpkg modules_image" as root in your current linux kernel directory(ie /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8/) After that, you can follow the other rest steps and you'll realize how easy it can be to install the nvividia driver after all, without module-assist. And don't forget to load the nvidia driver before reboot! The nividia howto is can be found here: http://saraf.web.cse.unsw.edu.au/nvidia-driver-howto.html Good luck and please share the result! I would like to know if this works with you as well. Ali __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.
