Then run: init 3 You will see some output lines but soon you can use the keyboard again. Then run: chmod u+x NVIDIA.....run Then run: ./NVIDIA,,,,,,run The ./ is important since . is not in the PATH of root generally. You will be asked some questions but eventually the drivers will be installed. Then you have to change the Driver line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read: Driver "nvidia" run: init 5 and you should be set. ======================================================================= Our swords shall play the orators for us. -- Christopher Marlowe ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
