NVidia driver not starting at boot


Hello All,
Once again the Kernel update process has broken my NVidia drivers. I have "Synaptic" the Linux Headers and rebooted many times...

I have re-installed the NVidia-glx, ran "nvidia-xconfig" and rebooted.

Please remind me if I have forgotten any steps...

Thanks guys.
Muzza.

sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot. if it persist then make sure you always install your hardware driver from the system hardware link. Remember the link also enables the non-free driver.or uninstall all of it and build your own driver.

Well seeing as EVERY kernel and X11, and xorg update WILL require the rebuilding of the kernel module from the nvidia.run driver/installer that is very normal .
