I ran the Nvidia installer but forgot to turn off X. Then realized that I am not sure how to do that. I understand alt F1-6 and I assumed that would do it but was informed that wouldnt do it. > > And if'n you get it right you'll see the nVidia splash screen when > either rebooting or firing up your X .

[ I guess > I need a new graphics card...... bugger!] While running 2.6.3-7mdk glxgrears ran fine just at 300-500 fps IIRC the max was around 1000. All I did was install 2.6.3.15 and glxgears will not run now. If you can give me detailed instructions for turning off X I'll do it again?
