Hi, I just installed my system in a minimalist mode and then patched/upgraded it etc to get past the nVidia driver problem (GeForce cards). I've got as far as X installation which works EXCEPT I get no desktop ... is there something I've forgotten to install? The following is a list of the steps I followed to install the system: * Remove all partitions from disk. * Build system as UK, Minimum, Single Processor (correction) system" * Install samba & sax2 (installs basic X11) with nVidia kernel & nVidia driver deslected. * Apply updated nVidia kernel & video card drivers, from relevant NFS: rpm ?ivh NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.seus80.i386.rpm rpm ?ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2960.seus80.i386.rpm * Apply sax2 detection patch, from relevant NFS: rpm ?Uvh sax2-4.3-453.i386.rpm Note: details at: * Run command "switch2nvidia_glx" * Run Sax2 and configure for 24 million colours at 1280 x 1024 Running "startx" just brings up X but no desktop?
