Ye gods! That was a LONG time ago. Nouveau has gotten better. It just didn't work well on some chipsets way back when dinosaurs walked the earth. > The blacklisting is not my doing.

That may be a moot point now. That's why it's handy to have a bootable USB drive around...to test stuff like this out. Install to the USB drive using defaults (like nouveau) and boot it.

I'm highly > uncomfortable playing with something as critical as grub. They're just shell variables that get exported by grub. They _must_ be defined before they're referenced via any "$(GRUB_xxxxx)" directives. Like any shell script, if you reference a non-existent variable, you'll get an error. It's unlikely your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX definition references those so any order should be OK. Just double check that they're defined before they're used. If they're not referenced elsewhere in the file, you're probably fine in any order. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Adjectives in English absolutely must come in the following order: - - opinion-size-age-shape-color-origin-material-purpose Noun.
