Thanks again for the help you guys gave me when I had a problem with my modules. from when I had installed Woody, I was not able to startx as I have a Geforce4 MX 440 SE which was not supported by the nv driver in X (I have version 4.1.0.1) I got a new driver from the Nvidia site (the latest is pkg2 I think, I have pkg0 ).I installed it and yet startx would not work. since X loads its drivers from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers , I moved the new NV module (nvidia.ko ) and renamed it nv_drv.o which was the nv driver (this is illogical, I know , but I was desperate.....) and it gave me another error message module does not have nvModuledata data object and died on me. I just got Gnome 2.4 and I'm desperate to install it. So anybody with the ideas flashing, HELP! thanx in advance, Joy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A life without purpose is like a bird that never learnt to fly....... > I am the bird that regularly flies Lufthansa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
