Hey Group; I did dowload the most recent NVidia file.run. Changed it to 755 and then confirmed the kernel "make cloneconfig" was done. I then ran the NVidia installer in runlevel 3 and it seemed that everything was installed correctly. Problem is that it seems that SaX2 and "X" (startx) locks up after the server is up. First I get the server gray screen with the big X (mouse) then comes the KDE back ground and last the startup box. It is at that point that the whole machine locks up. As best as I can tell it is missing some "nv" driver. The "nv" comes from /etc/X11/XF86config. This is on a NEW machine with parts - ASUS A7N7X-E, Asus FX5200 (Nvidia chipset) and a Athlon Barton 2800+. Anyone experienced this problem? -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316
