Anyone else have a problem with NOT having all of the listings under your menus? I checked with edit, and there's a lot listed there than don't show up on the desktop. Any fix? Outside of a few of these "odd ball" things, 9.0 IS faster than 8.2 and has some slick improvements.
Someone else gave me the answer, so I hope this works for you! First, download the new driver from nVidia. Use at the login prompt - the graphical login I ca't seen to get away from! - Ctl Alt F1. Now you can login as root. Then type init 3. This will kill "X". Then run: sh <nVidia file>. Go to /etc/X11 and edit with pico or whatever command line editor you like your XF86Config. What you're looking for is: Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce2 Ti" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" Screen 0 VendorName "NVidia" EndSection In your file you will probably have "Driver "nv", which is wrong. Change it to "nvidia". Now, run sax2 and make sure 3D is turned on. Exit out as root, login as a user, and you should be good to go.

Or use the binaries switch2nv/switch2nvidia to switch back on forth. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.
