Page, the kernal upgrade did the same thing to me. (damn thing downloaded an athalon kernal, I have an AMD K6-2) Fortunately, I remembered how to use SAX2 to use the open source NVIDIA driver. log in as root init 3 sax2 -m 0=nv (accept default config) startx That got X back, although it was the low res version. I already had an upgrade installer file from NVIDIA, It complained about not being compiled for the kernal I had and asked if I wanted to compile it. I said yes but ran into problems because of compiler versions. Running the installer reported a problem. I did a less /var/log/nvidia-installer.log to see the error using the space bar to page down to the error. In the directory with the NVIDIA installer, I typed in export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg1.run It compiled this time did a sax2 -m 0=nvidia config changes to get higher color depth and got my system back in all its glory HTH --- Charlie On Tuesday 06 January 2004 23:26, page wrote:
