All I saw is the nvidia logo then... just pitch black and no control...With sarge's xfree, X just crashes and give the hand on a console. The same pc worked with a kubuntu so I don't understand why it crashes here... Like you I don't need a linux for games (windows is here for that) but it is quite frustrating. Before the nvidia logo, I just have the time to see a "Remove nvidia TLS link" or something, do you see the same ?
