The nv driver doesn't have 3d acceleration so it probably doesn't need it either but i'm not sure if having it in xorg.conf makes any difference. What i can see it that the system is still trying to load the nvidia driver, ignoring the nv in xorg.conf. It should be uninstalled considering the card is too old to be supported by it anyways. The latest xorg versions can work without a xorg.conf so I would mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old, remove the nvidia driver and see what happens. I'm betting the nv driver will be loaded without a problem as long as that proprietary blob is gone. this gives good reason why it should be installed via the debian method instead of the .run package. .debs are much easier to uninstall if you have to. -- Rick Johnson <rick.j...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
