1.) If you just "change drives over" - um, I think you're going to have issues with the new hardware; you going to have to boot into console mode and run XFdrake to reset the monitor settings and the video card settings... 2.) The official NVidia drivers ARE part of the MDK 10.0 OE installation. 3.) See number one. ONE of the things you can do is let the machine get all the way to the "black screen" - then hit CTRL-ALT-F2 - this SHOULD bring you to a console login...login as the root user, run XFdrake, and get all the settings right... YET another reason why I prefer a console login to a graphical login - easier to troubleshoot, easier to fix X problems, and not as much system resource overload by just having GDM (or similar) running in the background... stephen kuhn - proprietor __________________________________________________________________ illawarra computer services :: a kuhn media australia venture http://kma.0catch.com :: mobile 0410.728.389 Serving Sydney, The Illawarra, South Coast and Rural NSW __________________________________________________________________ * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents __________________________________________________________________ Mandrake GNU/Linux 10.0 OE/Kernel 2.6.3-7/ No Viruses here.
