I have a TNT2 video card from NVidia, and some GLapps didn't work well, so I downloaded a new driver. I checked the readme and it says this: "BEFORE YOU BEGIN DRIVER INSTALLATION Before beginning the driver installation, you should exit the X server. In addition you should set your default run level so you will boot to a vga console and not boot directly into X This will make it easier to recover if there is a problem during the installation." The new driver works great, but I can't run linux anymore if I boot directly to runlevel 5 (=X). If I try, my logfile says: "(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!" And it says when I startup: NV: could not open control device /dev/nvidiadfl (no such file / dir) I'd like to be able to boot directly to X... Can someone help me? Thanx

What if you create /dev/nvidiadfl and see what happens, whether X would start or not??? I assume from your message that you can run X with "startx" command after your system boots into Level 3... taurus
