Simply re-run the NVIDIA installer with every new kernel you install, then run init 3 to jump to text-mode (multiuser), followed by init 5 to jump to graphical-mode (multiuser), and you should see the NVIDIA splash screen and the gdm login (assuming defaults). Without the NVIDIA kernel module, no hardware acceleration is enabled, and OpenGL applications will run (very slowly) in software.

I tried two or three times. It seems to have now been resolved... As a note though. My NVIDIA drivers have stopped working. I originally did a custom compile using the .run file from nvidia.com. These drivers don't work with the new kernel apparently... The X config prog. finds the video card and identifies it using the included 'nv' driver Are there any advantages to using the nvidia.com .run file or is the built in nvidia driver up to date and optimized for somewhat recent cards? (I'm using an FX 5200) thanks... On 2 Dec 2003, at 18:27, Gilbert Sebenste wrote: > The kernel-source file released today is messed up, or seemingly so, > from > both up2date and yum.
