\_ You should have a file called "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Attach that
\_ file to a message and send it to us. In that way, we should get an
\_ extremely good indication of what is happening.
Also, if the module is properly installed, you should get smoething like
% lsmod | egrep NV
NVdriver 1149024 20 (autoclean)
when you ask. If you don't, that's a sure sign that something didn't
happen right. Let us know that too. :-)
You have both the NVIDIA_GLX and the NVIDIA_kernel packages, right?
