Does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf say driver nv or driver nvidia? Only driver nvidia does GLX (and requires that the nvidia-glx package be installed). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: kernel upgrade has made nvidia 3D rendering not turn on.....
select the previous kernel version in grub compile breaking against 2.6.25 will no doubt be fixed fairly soon, nvidia likes their commercial drivers to work otherwise their forums will be hammered with complaints.

When the system first boots, just after the POST beep, you should see a blue screen with the different kernel options. This is the grub boot screen. You can use the cursor keys to move the select highlight to the kernel you want, and then hit enter. But be warned, with nVidia, I found that it's compile & install script would install stuff that only worked with the kernel it was built against. If your graphics doesn't come up when it did before then this maybe the same problem for you. Good luck Steve -- Steve Dobson Just because they are called 'forbidden' transitions does not mean that they are forbidden. They are less allowed than allowed transitions, if you see what I mean. -- From a Part 2 Quantum Mechanics lecture. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Just make sure you don't have no errors on the install of the previous kernel, otherwise you'll have an unbootable system. You could just re-install the older kernel and not uninstall the current running kernel, grub will probably come up with a list you can choose from.

You can install different kernel-versions, like 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and 2.6.25, and when starting the machine, you can choose, which kernel shall be booted. O.k., on the other hand, please check, if the latest package "nvidia-glx" is installed, as the nvidia accelrator depends on two parts: the kernel-module (which is nvidia-kernel and must be built by you) and the package "nvidia-glx", which must be installed. The latter interacts with the kernel-module. And last but not least: In /etc/X11/xorg.conf check the entries for acceleration and module: LOAD "glx" and DRIVER "nvidia" must be activated. Good luck !
