As Philip suggested, I would force the Nvidia installer to reinstall and rebuild the kernel module. When you move to a new kernel, even if it is just a patch, you need to rebuild the nvidia module. If you want to test this, change your XF86Config-4 back to the nv driver and comment out glx. If X loads, then you know that is the problem and you just need to force the nvidia installer to reinstall again. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
