The problem is that the nvidia driver makes changes to the kernel. If you recompile the kernel the changes are lost. Gerry On 14 Jan 2002, Charles Galpin wrote: > On Mon, 2002-01-14 at 10:29, Nick Wilson wrote: > > > I think the problem may be todo with the fact that after installed all > >

Might I suggest reading the installation docs provided by nVidia's web site? Hence: If you already have an XF86Config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line: Driver "nv" with
