You're lucky then! The problem I ran into has actually been documented. Do a google search for, "nvidia debian 2.6" and hit the "I feel lucky button." Then under "Troubleshooting" you'll see the problem I ran into--not sure how to copy and paste the URL from the console, sorry. In any case, I installed nvidia-glx before I should have and that's why I ran into problems. I appear to now be committed to my mistake....which would be fine if I could figure out why X says that I no longer have a screen that works. (What's the new stuff in the kernel that has to do with screen resolution? I probably messed up somewhere around there...when I did my make oldconfig) I've got everything compiled now for the 2.6.5 (except my wireless isn't working yet, not sure why though). But X is still throwing up errors and my nvidia module isn't listed under lsmod. It's there under /lib/modules/[etc]/nvidia.ko, but I can't probe it (why is everything .ko now instead of .o?). I do have module-init-tools, and there are other modules loaded, so I'm not sure why nvidia's refusing to play nicely. emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
