Until the next xorg upgrade overwrites one of the files and breaks things. Packages are a much better idea to use. The nvidia installer is one of those awful things that works fine initially but will cause a breakage down the road when doing something seemingly unrelated. Unless you want your system to be like windows, just avoid 3rd party installers. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
