So, I decided to try the Nvidia driver from their site which I eventually got working, only problem is that everytime the kernel or X.Org X11 changes I have to recompile it. If I was to try the official way again what is the best way of getting rid of the other driver - the site above doesn't mention a method. -- ___________________________________________ |\ /| ark Fraser /mfraz2002@xxxxxxxxxxx | \/ | Somerset /www.mfraz.freeserve.co.uk | |__________/Acorn SA RISC PC You know what the sig means!
