The quick answer: Boot to run level 3 (or wait until 5 fails and you drop to a virtual console), reinstall the nVidia driver (perhaps not needed) then issue the commands: modprobe nvidia cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia* By the way, this issue has been dealt with many times on this list. I'm not a big fan of saying "search the archives" (that's a huge archive), but perhaps you could have found your answer there. I won't complain too much, though, especially since you just joined. Just so you know, this is a very high volume list, so be prepared for a lot of messages : ). Jonathan
