Hello,
does X work if you revert the kernel to 2.6.6-2 ?
Yes. Everything is working fine then.
does X work with 2.6.7 if you disable the nvidia drivers?
I'm not sure how to do this? Do you mean to change "nvidia" in XF86Config-4 to something else? In which case I don't see how it would work properly, because nvidia is the right (presumably the only) driver for my graphics card.
Or do you mean to uninstall the nvidia kernel drivers that I made from the nvidia-kernel-source? Usually if I don't build the nvidia drivers when a new kernel is installed, X doesn't work, and it gives me error messages about the monitor until I build and install a new kernel package from nvidia-kernel-source.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious or being stupid. I'm not very clear about how this stuff works.
Helen.
