So, You are running Nvidia. What why did you install it, nvidia installer or the debian way? If you did BOTH you will/might have problems. assuming you only did one way: apt-get install nvidia-xconfig as root do nvidia-xconfig then do startx if you startx, you might want to do apt-get install nvidia-settings as run that as root. nvidia-xconfig will fix your xorg to comply with nvidia drivers (with out respect to the way you installed nvidia. I hope this helps and I am just going off of Florian's insight. -- Damon L. Chesser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linkedin.com/in/dchesser
