That wfb symlink shouldn't be there anymore, if you run a current driver (173.x I think is current). Could be a leftover from a previous driver version. Make sure all nvidia packages are the same version on your system. Have you manually told X which driver you want to use? I think it defaults to using nv, and no longer asks during configuration what you want to use. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
