This is caused by the lack of the NVIDIA module being loaded into the kernel - type lsmod and you should see a line that says nvidia.. Type "modprobe nvidia" as root - then try startx as a user. If this does not work, you will want to make sure you compiled devfs into your kernel... :-) - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7D81740A -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/poSpZosHVX2BdAoRAqCPAKCL0ZnoH0rbcMzxkS4gHmgmjJpIYwCeOmTA rM8sjyp8r5NU2bVO67pclcM= =S6gb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
