 nvidia install loose end?After running sgfxi what is the command to startx? I tried both the options I saw, quit and start-desktop. also tried startx. I ended up doing a hard reboot which worked. I'd like to add this to my how to folder.
Thanks sawer |

Re: nvidia install loose end? When sgfxi runs it should give the option at the end of the installation of the nvidia driver.

Re: nvidia install loose end? Ordinarily the
1) Start Desktop works. You just press 1 <enter> and X starts up. However your starting situation wasn't quite typical. If the regular option to start desktop didn't work I would try /etc/init.d/kdm restart If that didn't work, I would try a reboot by typing reboot <enter> since it's already a root prompt. Occasionally on ATI cards sgfxi has to be run twice for it to work. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |
