These are all harmless; you probably still have the old font paths in your xorg.conf. The new ones start with "/usr/share/" instead of "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/". You can change them or comment them out completely, since the new Xorg includes the default font paths automatically (see the last message above). > (WW) NV(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xc0000000,0x8000000) Did you change all instances of "nv" to "nvidia" in your xorg.conf before you restarted the X server (or restarted [kgx]dm if you use graphical log-in)? > (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) It seems that Xorg is trying to use nvidia's glx module together with the old nv driver. Make sure you changed "nv" to "nvidia" in xorg.conf and restart the server. If that does not help then I would like to see the output of the following commands: grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.* file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia* -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
