Hehehehh, are you getting back at me for criticizing yer reply settings?;D No, I didn't. Anyway, this is what I get: chmod 0666 /dev/nvidia* chmod: failed to get attributes of `/dev/nvidia*': No such file or directory lsmod shows no nvidia module loaded. Hey, that's funny I don't remember uninstalling the nvidia kernel. urpmq doesn't show it either......so run nvidia's installer again, I'm definitely getting old. Ok, it installs and removes some stale stuff (at least it gives that impression).....lsmod shows nvidia, startx doesn't play ball:( Can't load the module....sheesh! So lets give it a reboot just be sure.......a shocking mess: no more user/lib/module.deps (or something along that line) and an unworkable system:( Luckily I can boot from another partition that has / mirrored so no real damage except me losing an hour or 2. What a mess:( Good luck, HarM -- -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
