I see there is already a reply about the UseFBDev option. You will also notice that the driver is nv. This is the "open source" version of the nvidia driver - not the closed one from nvidia which is called "nvidia". I noticed that this had changed when I did an upgrade. If you use the nvidia sourced driver the UseFBDev option works. (There are some debian packages (nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src) that will download the latest driver from nvidia's web site and make some debs from them which you can then install. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9u66vuFHxcV2FFoIRAiZUAJ41OK0tOL5vO/gL6xchh5Tl4filEACfUeRx fSHb4i+juzVefHxMnGIXkXQ= =r6rM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
