Re: X server problem after up2date

[Ed Westphal <enwestph rochester rr com>]

   Forgive the obvious question, but you have tried re-installing the 
NVidia driver? In my hands, the run script would un-install any previous 
versions it finds and go about it's business of putting the new version 
in it's place. I'm also assuming you've done this from a non X-server 
boot?, i.e. text mode only by modifying initd? If you've rebooted to a 
faulty xconfig, you may have to go in and  manually edit that as well 
with VI or your favorite text editor. It should work, unless you have 
some other non-standard kernel utils compiled in?
