Thank you for the answers.I did look at the read me a nvidia and it didn't illuminate what would solve this. (I upgraded my video card and then had Xserver failure in debian.) Anyway here is the results of uname -a & my /usr/src/.
Sorry I am having some problem- I can't copy and paste from kword to the browser, and I can do that in the other linux distro's I have. Is there something I can do about that? I mean I can copy and paste within a document in debian but it doesn't see the copy from a different application or document. I have to copy to a floppy and start up in knoppix to get the info here.
