Last time I built a live CD for my diskless machine I had to: 1. install packages nvidia-glx and nvidia-xconfig (including dependencies of course) 2. run nvidia-xconfig (though I'm guessing a 'sed -i -e s/nv/nvidia/ xorg.conf' would have been enough) Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
