This is what I would do: apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source module-assistant m-a prepare -t nvidia-kernel m-a build -t nvidia-kernel m-a install -t nvidia-kernel apt-get install nvidia-glx Although with the last one I did I had to dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-<version> afterwards. Also you will need to rmmod nvidia (to remove the old one) first. Scrutinise the errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any clues if it fails. With apt-cache policy <package> you may notice any version conflicts. -- Chris. ------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
