But when I try to start X, it just says Driver > "nvidia" would be no recognized name. So what else do I have to do? For starters, you can check that the driver is there. If the nvidia-glx package (the one you built) is installed, you can use dpkg -L nvidia-glx to see a list of its files. One of them should be /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o . Check that that file is actually there. If it's not, did you remember to install the .deb after you built it? I've forgotten that once or twice in the past... good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire, 1906
