as root

#telinit 3

install nvidia

#exit

then as user,

#startx

Next boot will boot up into 5... though your way will work also...

problem
 

okay, i noticed a problem now, i've rebooted, the grafix drivers work great, i even have my dual monitors configured.. however.. when i installed the new kernel now i dont get any network... i cant connect at all.. :( anyone else had this problem, if i need to i can post this in another forum, but i also think its important for ppl to know that it might happen to them.. and how to fix it.. thanx

i'll check for a reply when i'm back from mowing the lawn an hour or so

Now for some reason ut2004 will no longer run?
I see the logo for the screen but then disapears and in command prompt I get a display error.

I also cant run glxgears...

here is th error

:confused:

check this
 

in your xorg.conf file make sure you still have the line

load "glx"

if you dont .. add it with all the other load lines, and make sure you comment out this line

load "dri"

hope that helps a little

just a quick comment
 

replacing the kernel somehow screwed up my nforce drivers, when i changed nic's and disabled the onboard one, everything worked fine.. so i dont know what else to make of it.. just something to keep in mind for those of u with an Nforce board, and changing the kernel for your nvidia gfx card.
