Bonjour,

I just tried to compile and install 9625 version of nvidia driver 
(downloaded from nvidia web site).

No problem to compile, no problem to install.... but not working: screen 
remains black while booting in level 5 or in level 3 then using startx...

does anybody have the same problem?

config: x86_64
card: GeForce 7800 GTX

Thanks
