thanks for the info. would it hurt to do the 1-click install of the legacy over the driver i have installed?
also, i have reinstalled 11.0 after trying to fix x and i got a boot load error asking for a system disk. now x won't start and i keep getting pushed to the command line. when i did startx from init 3 it said that x wasn't supported and there was no xconf. this is from the 11.0 dvd. i also tried a fresh install from the live cd and the kernel doesn't load and i hang at the grub line.
i'm pretty frustrated about all this. i don't know if i fried my hardware (graphics card) when i installed the new driver and then saved it to sax-2, but at this writing i can't use 11.0 at all except from the command line and then with an install from the dvd.
i'll try installing 11.0 later today and see what happens and also try the failsafe mode.
cheers, dwain
No, should be fine... It will just replace the driver (kernel module) that is giving you problems. Both current and legacy modules will be named nvidia.ko, so it should just overwrite the kernel module. At this point, couldn't hurt! -- David C.
