Might there be an easier way to do this? m-a update m-a prepare m-a a-i nvidia modconf -> select and load the nvidia module m-a stands for the module-assistant. The above procedure requires for you to have contrib non-free (along with main) added to your apt-get mirrors in the /etc/apt/sources.list You will need to do this every time you update your kernel. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Search Accredited Degrees Browse leading, accredited online degrees.

That's good to know! What is all that doing behind the scenes? I'm used to loading the module manually and adding a line in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel- 2.6 so it is loaded while booting up. So I would just do like, modprobe nvidia; echo "nvidia" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6; and be done. If you can point me to where I can RTFM that'd be awsome, heh. Thanks!
