The nVidia configuration file is now "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". If you have an old "/etc/X11/XF86Config" file, you can start be renaming it. You could also use the "nvidia-xconfig" package or the "X -config <filename>" command to generate a default/barebones xorg configuration file (which may have to be moved to "/etc/X11"). You will need to decide whether to use the "nv" or "nvidia" driver (there is a MANual page for "nv"). I forget the technical differences between the two. Also - if you want to use/take advantage of nVidia's GLX code, then the default xorg glx library needs to be renamed and the nVidia glx library symlinked such as: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so -> /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so.1 where the latter is the nVidia glx library and the original xorg "ligblx.so" has been deleted or renamed. knowtree@aloha.com wrote: > Laptop, Dell Latitude D830, Nvidia QuadroNVS 135M > > I just installed Gnome2 today and X will not start.
