jagwah Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Reinstall the nvidia driver, you will need to have the kernel source that matches your kernel installed also. uname -r in a konsole will give you your kernel, install the matching kernel-source, then install the nvidia driver.

jaraeez Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) I think after you re-install it you need to run XFdrake as root & select it again (your card) from there as well - Edited May 13, 2007 by jaraeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
