I am starting to question my own sanity when it comes to NVIDIA drivers.
Heh, heh :-)
About two months ago this happened and for some reason the above sh script / sax2 thing did not work. I tried both the 6629 drivers and the 5336 drivers with no luck. After a day of cursing I just gave up. The machine is used for two things. One is a mail router and the other is a MySQL server.
Ah, so you don't use it for 3d playing? :-P In that case, I would simply use the standar "open" driver: ie, 'nv' instead of 'nvidia'. Not so many features, but it works, and no updates issues at all: Section "Device" # ---- open driver, GPL --- Identifier "Device[0]" BoardName "GeForce2 MX/MX 400" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nv" <====================== VendorName "NVidia" EndSection -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
