The lines in my modules.pcimap are identical. FWIW, I mentioned previously that startx precipitated a total crash; not so, having installed the sound drivers it is clear that only X crashes and SysRq works to get me backto a console. Also, been reading the recent hal + nvidia thread. Definite similarities to my situation. I emerged xorg with hal support but I tried with the hal daemon off and it didn't help. I also tried the very brief, five line, xorg.conf file suggested no help, no change. I also note something eerily similar in my netbook which has only a builtin intel vid chip. In this case X starts fine but then, after a period of time, could be as short as 15 mins or as long as 8 hours the desktop goes blank, ususally black but once grey. I can migrate to the first console and turn off theX server but I have to reboot to get back to the desktop. Running startx again just leads back to a blank screen. Every thing else, sound card, wireless seems to work OK. mw
