Sorry, this should have gone to the list. Nope, it happened with the 3123.  I built a system last month and merged the Nvidia kernel and glx drivers - did not have to put in modules.autoload.   About two weeks ago I had to rebuild the same system to to disk problems - I wiped out all the partit

For the record, I have no problems with the nvidia driver loading when I start X. I am using 4191 series. But, I do see a boot message saying nvdriver failed to load. lsmod, before starting X confirms this. It loads fine upon "startx" My initial problem, however, remains. Probabl
