Unless I am missing something, he never has said that he is not using the nvidia driver. In fact he has avoided your suggestion to change the driver in xorg.conf, and is blaming hte nvidia driver for the problem.
As I read his messages, nothing has been said until now about recompiling/reinstalling which is needed for new kernel releases.

Yes, I am using nvidia drivers with the old kernel which works fine. You told me to make a change in xorg.conf from nvidia to nv. When I looked it was already set to nv and now we know it is not the problem.
Well now I have another question since I am a newbie. I have downloaded the latest nvidia drivers. And I want to recompile them to the new kernel as you have suggested. But how can I boot the new kernel into run level 3? Please give me the commands and I will try your suggestions.
