Konqueror freezes after NVIDIA driver install


after i installed my NVIDIA driver, my konqueror freezes up my computer. i saw on the konqueror page to do this...

I'm using an NVidia driver for X, and Konqueror hangs the system

Add

Option "NvAgp" "2"

to the "Device" section for the NVidia card, in XF86Config. The above option just says to use the Linux agpgart module instead of Nvidia's own. Thanks to Scott Lanham for this advice.


and i did, but the problem still presists. anyone have the same problem??? this is my XF86Config file
