I use the hardware drivers program, under System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and have never had any troubles. have you tried that route? I'm also still confused about your kernel numbers - do you perhaps have the proposed updates turned on? let's ignore that and just try the nvidia drivers for now :-) -- _________________________________ Michael Fletcher Visit my website here - <A HREF="http://www.mgfletcher.com/blog">http://www.mgfletcher.com/blog</A> Interested in Linux?

It was actually when i installed the driver from their website that it broke. I have used jockey, envy, repos and nvidia website. I have even used three different versions of the driver (which weirdly, jockey and envy show different versions as the recommended one).<BR> And unfortunately,  it would appear that the main reason things are not configuring correctly is the kernel... :-/ Everything to do with it returns an error. Yeah I do have proposed turned on, shouldn't I? I always have done, since *-proposed was an option.<BR> <BR> sorry to  be awkward...<BR> Thanks :)<BR> <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> ===================================<BR> Farran Lee<BR> I'm only 16 :P </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>
