1) Edit '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'. Change line

(I use customized device sections instead). Reboot. The new kernel will be active, but X will use the open driver, without 3D.
There is no need for this, or for running sax2 with cryptic parameters, if the nvidia driver was installed and working with the old kernel. Just go to runlevel 3, make sure the kernel sources are installed and prepared,
For doing that, I like to have the new kernel already running (or make cloneconfig will fail). And to have the new kernel running, either I boot into runlevel 3 (as nvidia module is not yet installed), or use module nv instead for a while - and that "while" make last for a week or two till I find a real need to have 3D again. And... there is nothing cryptic about a 4 letter change. It's just a precaution, a safeguard. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCrOKytTMYHG2NR9URAinUAJ4xlv0/qSrEVL6viF1zpigUtGFC0QCdFOzc bKqlNOxPuS3od7ScN2t+Ddg= =6OBz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
