Hi, everyone. I'm a linux newbie, so be gentle.
I've been runing Debian sarge on 2.6.8 for a while and needed to recompile my kernel, so I went with 2.6.9. After rebooting, my nvidia driver didn't work anymore. I reinstalled the driver (it's still the latest from nvidia), which required it build a new driver for the kernel. Now X seems to start - except it only shows the nvidia logo. If I type in my username/pass, I can tell that it logs in and I can see the mouse ponter, but it still only shows the logo. Using CygwinX on XP, everything works fine.
Nothing has changed from my config that worked for 2.6.8, and I can't find any problems in the XFree86 log. I suspect that Nvidia needs to release a new driver for the new kernel. I'm probably going going to back out to 2.6.8.
If anyone knows what other problem it might be, please let me know. Also, is there a way to file a kernel or nvidia driver bug with people who know this stuff better than me?
Edit: Looks like some people on Mandrake are having the same problem.
