Does this sound right?
If so, you have two options. 1) is to get the nvidia driver rpms from Club Commercial Downloads, or 2) head over to the nvidia website and grab their Linux driver installer. Option 2 requires you to have the kernel-source package installed, as well as some development tools like gcc and autoconf/automake. Don't worry if that sounds scary, there is loads of info on the web on how to do this and there are many on this list that would be willing to help. /g > Firstly, In lilo if i select "linux" 9.2 boots ok, but into text mode. > The nice pretty GUI has gone and I don't know how to start it again.
