Thanks all. My problem is solved. Getting the kernel and source in sync then setting all up in sax2 when in init 3 proved to solve it at last. Some of the other stunts along the way, may have contributed - I couldn't tell. Thanks again. :)Bogi Carsten Koch wrote:

Thanks that brought me a bit further. Unfortunantly I'm not quite there yet.
I removed kernel sources, installed them again, ran YOU and rebooted. I then followed the instructions stated below (make cloneconfig, make prepare-all, init 3 and ran the nvidia-installer again) which brought me to a position where the installer warned me that "rivafb" was included as a loadable module and that that might cause conflicts. I proceeded and the installer terminated cleanly. I ran Sax2 which detected me NVidia 0x0281 card. I started X and proceeded to Sax2 in graphical mode to enable 3D acceleration. I ran the "test" which gave the following: X Server test failed NVIDIA(0): *** aborting *** Screen(s) found, but none have usable configuration
What's next?
Do a init 3 and modprobe nvidia manually as root.
Does it work? Does lsmod report the nvidia module? Start sax2 again (in the console window under runlevel 3) and enable 3D acceleration.
Carsten.
