well, I started over again, blew away my xorg.conf and reran the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run when I rebooted I realized that it looks like they snuck another kernel update in on me: ~$ uname -a Linux paulandcilla 2.6.22-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Nov 12 08:32:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
running Debian testing. NOW my NVIDIA driver is working again, and so is mplayer. so it looks like the fact that the nvidia driver wasn't working also affected mplayer. When I was running on the "nv" driver, mplayer would give me a segfault. anyway, all is right with the world now, time to do a backup!!! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
