Re: NVIDIA kernel and X problems (Solved!)
I've solved it.
First. I didn't install the NVIDIA driver from the original installer
I always use module-assistant.
What happened was that module-assistant leave in /usr/src/ the old
nvidia-kernel modules. so when it installed, it first install the older
ones but only configure it once.
What i did was remove all the old ones and module-assistant auto-install
nvidia again.
Thanks to all for your answers.
