| Maybe you installed a new kernel and forgot to recompile the nvidia-kernel modules? |

Thanks, that solved some of it.
I can now run with the nvidia driver but frankly it looks like the amount of colors available is not that super and the screen colors dont behave as expected. E.g. when opening a 'links -driver x' all colors change into purple.
Aside that, I still dont seem to run correctly since glxinfo states:
Couldn't find RGB GLX visual
Any help ? Thanks ! |

| Quote: | In the Module section (of the XF86Config-4) , make sure you have:
Load "glx"
You should also remove the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore" |
From the nvidia readme. Good luck! |

| That part I did, and did not result in a working GLX. It seems something is quite messed here and I cant use IRC support at the moment. |
