So I am wondering if sometimes the NVIDIA driver kicks in, and sometimes it doesn't. But I may be wrong.
If you see the splash - its using the nvidia driver "nvidia" If you don't see the spash - its using a different driver "nv" (oss) perhaps? maybe even VESA.
On the boots where you don't see the splash, I would look through the xorg.log file 'for that instance' and it should tell you why it defaulted back to a different driver.
Thanks for your reply and suggestion. I've checked the new Xorg0.log file, (presumably from this boot), where the screen is incorrect. There is one LoadModule: "nvidia" in there, but no "nv" or "vesa". There is an Xorg0.log.old which is probably from the previous boot. If so, that was a good one. This log also only has LoadModule: "nvidia" and neither "nv" or "vesa". There are also Xfree86.log files which give the same results for the module. Sorry, but with my lack of knowledge, I don't know what else to check. Thanks Keith
