By the way you mentioned switch2nvidia was that just it? or did you mean switch2nvidia_glx?
The former - what's the difference between these commands?
Also 3Ddiag is worth running, it checks to make sure everything is set right with libraries etc.
Haven't got that far - need to get past the driver crashing the box first!
How is this going anyway John?
Not really had a chance to play further - as I said, the fact that each attempt takes the box down, requiring a reset and fsck means that it eats 25 minutes or so for each time I try it. What it looks like to me is that that, for some reason, the driver is building something that's broken, because it invariably crashes my box when I try to use the nvidia driver (whether that's running sax2 [crashes as soon as it tries to bring up the gui] or issuing 'switch2nvidia' and 'init 5').
