Derek, At the # prompt I entered:urpme NVIDIA_GLX NVIDIA_kernel and got the error message: "unknown package". Decided to Reinstall 9.0 and did a much better job (more attention to detail). However, I reformatted the / partition but did not reformat the /home partition. Now a number of strange things are happening. KDE will not load and problem with (SIGSEGV) and so on. I will Install a 3rd time and wipe both partitions and have everything fresh. I am learning a lot about installing. When 9 is running I will try to learn something about the programs. Thanks Leo

The simple solution is to uninstall the old Nvidia drivers. You can do that from a root console with the command urpme NVIDIA_GLX NVIDIA_kernel derek
