Angry Ughghg, problem number 2..


So I changed the drivers to Nvidia under the Mepis OS Center and I also told it what monitor I am using.. Rebooted and on the boot up got the same errors:

Starting K Display Manager: kdm.
MEPIS Linux testing/unstable Stealth (My Computer named under the Mepis OS Center) tty1

Stealth login:
MEPIS Linux testing/unstable Stealth (My Computer named under the Mepis OS Center) tty1

Stealth login: |

Froze at the last error message..

Any help guys? Thanks for fixing my problems soo far..

~!~EDIT~!~
I am looking at PCLinuxOS and it looks similar to MEPIS.. It is KDE, versus Gnome, correct?

So that would mean it tries to load X, but throws you back into the console? IF that's it, then your drivers aren't working. I sugest you revert to your original setting, then download the drivers using Synaptic(do a search for nvidia if you've got an nvidia card, or fglrx for ati, make sure you've got the correct version also. You can check the version you need under KDE Control Panel under Release on the front screen. Most likely it's 2.6.10. Then check here under the X configuration section. Before editing BACK UP YOUR XF86Config-4 using (in root mode of course)
Code:
# cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.bak
When you screw something up, you can revert your changes by simply removing the .bak extension by
Code:
# cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.bak /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Also, i take now responsibility if you blow your computer up or something...

Good luck!
