Hi folks. I've just tried to install the NVidia drivers onto my laptop without any success. I downloaded the file from the NVidia site and ran sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run This ran fine, said it couldn't find the correct kernel interface, so it built one, and then finished without errors. I then made the appropriate changes to the XF86Config and ran startx. Unfortunately it didn't work. All I got was my screen staying in text mode with the screen having a black background with white block characters all over it. <Alt>+<Ctrl>+<Del> reboots the pc fine. I've rebooted, re-installed and re-checked everything but I can't see what the problem is. Can anyone help? I've put up all the files I can think of here: http://www.stainburn.com/XF86Config.orig -- original config http://www.stainburn.com/XF86Config -- amended for NVidia http://www.stainburn.com/XF86Config.diff -- diff of the 2 http://www.stainburn.com/XFree86.0.log -- X startup log -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000
