(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** You are apparently using the nVidia binary drivers from nVidia, not the open-source drivers from XFree86. It appears that you have not built or installed the nVidia binary kernel module necessary for the kernel that you are running. Instructions for how to do that are in the README with the nVidia binary drivers. If you do not need OpenGL acceleration, mostly needed for video games, you can switch to the XFree86 open-source drivers that do not require special built binary kernel modules every time you upgrade your kernel. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
