Kernel 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl and NVIDIA driver 5328

[Lance.Spence at cox.com]

Honestly I don't remember if it asked about another instance, but I sure that it probably did. I am attaching a copy of my XFree86 log file.

Also thanks for the tip on restoring a console.

ok when you were doing the install of the drivers... did it say there is
already an instance of the drivers installed? it should and thenit
should remove them for u.. 

can you post the xfree86 log and see what went wrong?
also dont reboot if ctrl alt f2 or ctrl alt bkspc dont work last you can
do ctrl alt sysrq (same sa printscreen key) and k.. it will kill x and
bring you to log in screen.. i had to use that alot when my americas
army game would freeze on me.. 
you could also have security problems with the dri crap.. lemme know/
