Eh, actually there is a BIG need to perform a cold boot.
I went into the specifics of this in prior postings, but the Nvidia chips must be re-inited completely as the NV drivers cannot handle the state the chipset was left in by XFree86's drivers. In addition the Nvidia modules get aliased by /etc/modules.conf at boot so they are properly loaded at invocation... -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robert MacLean |Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 9:32 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [newbie] NVidia Drivers | | |there is no need to reboot. | |when you are at the command prompt, edit the config file |and type startx. | |it will then attempt to load x. if it fails it will kick you |back to the console. otherwise it will work | |___________________________________________ |Robert MacLean |----- Original Message ----- |From: "David .." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 4:31 PM |Subject: Re: [newbie] NVidia Drivers | | |> |> Yes edit the XF86Config-4 before you reboot with the changes needed |for the |> video drivers. |> |> >From: R & C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |> >Subject: Re: [newbie] NVidia Drivers |> >Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2001 01:38:38 -0500 |> > |> >Ok, I appreciate all your help. |> > |> >I understand why I shouldn't use Software Manager for this |particular |> >installation.
