(still newbie) kernel compilation issues

['Forum Post]

You should install the nvidia driver again because you have to compile
the nvidia module for each kernel of yours.



If you want to use the xserver again follow these steps:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf



Set the driver to "nv" instead of "nvidia" in the Section "Device" like
in the example below:



Section "Device"

Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV40 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"

Driver "nv"

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"





CTRL+O to save (yes, use the same name and overwrite the file)

CTRL+X to exit



Then  type:

startx
