well i got them to install which is good.

 

i see the nvidia logo, then it boots into my kde desktop, as soon as this happens i get a corupted image on the screen, image is "garbled" and no displayed corectly, then it freezes.

 

i change my xfree86 file back to "nv" insted of nivida and my desktop works fine again,

 

i would like to play games :) but im outta ideas on how to get this to work
