Yes there is, and you'll be happy to know I just got done smooting my X install out - just in time to try using the latest driver from the nVidia site (but that's a story for another time). To the point; to best serve you, one will need to see the output from /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and a copy of your xorg.conf file. Without this information /nobody/ can posibly know where you/it went wrong. You would do well to search the posts I made yesterday in a thread. Search for mtrr: invalid argument. I posted all the info you already should have. ;) But you'll see a good example to get some ideas for your own. Have fun. --Chris out... > -- > Jonathan Chen <jonathan.chen@solnetsolutions.co.nz> > Solnet Solutions Limited T: +64 9 9775800 > Level 7, Brookfields House, F: +64 9 9775801 > 19 Victoria Street, DDI: +64 9 9775871 > PO Box 6619, M: +64 21 635618 > Auckland 1141, New Zealand http://www.solnetsolutions.co.nz/ > > > Attention: > This email may contain information intended for the sole use of > the original recipient.
