Thanks for help guys,
Yes, I am using nvidia drivers with the old kernel which works fine. You 
told me to make a change in xorg.conf from nvidia to nv. When I looked it 
was already set to nv and now we know it is not the problem.

Well now I have another question since I am a newbie. I have downloaded the 
latest nvidia drivers. And I want to recompile them to the new kernel as you 
have suggested. But how can I boot the new kernel into run level 3? Please 
give me the commands and I will try your suggestions.
