The nvidia X driver is actually working, it just doesn't work with the last update of the kernel (maybe because I have to update also the nvidia module from livna which I understood is specific for each kernel).
That's fully expected with an unsupported old nvidia driver version.
How would I fall back to the "nv" driver? If I could do that reliably I could try to install the "dkms" package to let the nvidia driver be built at boot-up, so that if it fails I can always get my desktop back to keep trying things...
This is all covered in the driver README. In short, all you have to do is change 'nvidia' to 'nv' in xorg.conf. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org
