I'll go back through it again later this afternoon and make sure.. I did look over the XF86Config-4 and it looked OK except for replacing nv with nvidia, which I did.. I didn't look at modules.conf as there was no need the last time I installed these drivers.. The sh script name is 4349 but I'm sure it was 4363 that came up when I was installing.. Like I said, I'll give it another go later today and then post the result of my trials.. -- Ken Thompson - WA7SYR
