When I do a: lsmod |grep rivafb before running modprobe -r I do not see any rivafb loaded but the nvidia will not work until I remove that module. modprobe -r rivafb does not complain that rivafb is not loaded so I remain with a mystery which I have not really unraveled. My plan was to get nvidia to work and that happened. ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
