Thanks Carl. It is already set to NO. I ran /sbin/mkinitrd at a command prompt and got the following linux-5efu:/home/allen # /sbin/mkinitrd Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-1.2-desktop Initrd image: /boot/initrd-3.1.0-1.2-desktop KMS drivers: nouveau nvidia Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK3255GSXF_X96JT4KBT-part4 (/dev/sda4) (mounted on / as ext4) Resume device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MK3255GSXF_X96JT4KBT-part3 (/dev/sda3) modprobe: Could not read '/lib/modules/3.1.0-1.2-desktop/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko': No such file or directory WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'nvidia' found. Kernel Modules: thermal_sys thermal processor fan pata_acpi button video wmi mxm-wmi i2c-algo-bit drm drm_kms_helper ttm nouveau Features: acpi kms block usb resume.userspace resume.kernel Bootsplash: openSUSE (1280x800), openSUSE (800x600) As you can see, it has listed under KMS driver both nouveau and nvidia. Given the nvidia driver is not installed, should this be there? Any other ideas? Thanks, Allen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
