Did you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as required for the nVidia driver? >From the nVidia README (ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-6106/README.txt): If you already have an X config file working with a different driver (such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find the relevant Device section and replace the line: Driver "nv" (or Driver "vesa") with Driver "nvidia" In the Module section, make sure you have: Load "glx" You should also remove the following lines: Load "dri" Load "GLcore" if they exist. There are also numerous options that can be added to the X config file to fine-tune the NVIDIA X driver. Please see Appendix D for a complete list of these options. I too got the rivafb warning during the drive build, but do not use it on my Dell 5150 laptop. All else is fine. HTH, Marc Schwartz
