Sorry 'bout that, I thought I had put in a subject.<br><br>
<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi All,<br><br>
I just installed the new nVidia driver using apt-get. <br><br>
When I tried to restart X, it failed. Here's what's in the XFree86.0.log
file:<br><br>
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a<br>

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.<br><br>
Fatal server error:<br>
no screens found<br><br>
The only attached monitor is my TV using SVideo. There is a configured
NEC multisync in the Config which I used to originally install.<br><br>
I'm using Axel's kernel 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl_48.rhfc1.at and installed the
new driver using Jarod's recommended:<br>
# apt-get install kernel-module-nvidia-graphics6106-$MYKERNEL<br>
# apt-get install nvidia-graphics6106<br><br>
I had tried it with "RenderAccel" "1" and without and
get the same error.<br><br>
I know I can always go back to the old driver that was working, but I'd
rather move to the new one and get the best quality I can.<br><br>
Any ideas what's going on here? What other info would you like?<br><br>
