But the NVidia driver is free ;-) In my years using NVidia drivers under Redhat (think 5.x) , these drivers never screw up my system. In the early years i use linux (10 years ago) i have to use an opengl card, and i thanked god, that nvidia makes a driver that speed up opengl under linux. OK, it was not open-source, but it works and the gl speed was 1000 times faster than the original X11 driver. For me, speed was an argument, because i maked gl visualization of 3d fluid stream data. The alternative was a sgi sytem, that we had in our university and use MESA to visualize it, but IMHO a bad alternative and for a student not payable. And the driver is more stable and the installation is much easier today than 10 years ago. And now to the problem itself: Take a look in the log file from X, post the device section of the xorg.conf here, is the kernel module running? Are there entries in /etc/modprobe.conf? Have you installed the nvidia driver or do you have problems with the native driver? And please: Quote, and do not quote ALL, when you answer ;-) CU Jörn Rink -- Nine (not 9) Never trust a hippie
