| 203344 | 2003-12-28 21:07:00 | When it asks if I want to overwrite, do I press Y? If so, then I did the whole thing and still no luck... |

| 203345 | 2003-12-28 21:16:00 | I'm beginning to lose hope here. I'll do those instructions again. By the way, I copied the XF86Config file, not the XF86Config.old |

| 203346 | 2003-12-28 21:21:00 | Did it again, still no luck... any ideas, or should I reinstall?! :S | Jaguar (4442) | ||
| 203347 | 2003-12-28 21:23:00 | Heading out, be back afternoon. Think away. | Jaguar (4442) | ||
| 203348 | 2003-12-28 21:45:00 | Forget the cp XF86Config XF86Cofnig.old then... And yes, over-write... Try re-installing the drivers.. Andy chance you can post here Exactly what happens (In detail...) As well as the last 10-15 lines of any error message... |

| 203349 | 2003-12-29 18:20:00 | What do I push when it asks me to overwrite? Anyway, the problem is this: Once all of the XF86Config replacement is completed, there is no change. Out of curiousity, I went into /etc/X11/ and found XF86Config as well as a XF86Config~. There were also some backups. The problem when Linux is loaded is that I can't read that error message because it is blank. When I choose yes, however, it comes up with a ReadMe type file for XF86Config. The only option from there is Exit. |

| 203350 | 2003-12-29 22:28:00 | Push Y when it asks you to over-write and hit Enter That XF86Config~ file was likely created by gedit, as a backup file. Try this: cp /etc/X11/XF86Config~ /etc/X11/XF86Config Then restart X. After that, always keep a backup of your XF86Config file.. You'll be back to a vesa display, but at least a distplay is better than none, so you can take it at a steady pace if you screw up ;-) took me about 3 weeks before I got drivers right with Lycoris Desktop/LX ;-) |

| 203351 | 2003-12-29 22:56:00 | Woohoo, time to celebrate because I am back into Linux. Now, about the nVidia drivers. I'm hoping to actually get them installed... so I'll give it another go later this afternoon. Wow, it feels good to be back here. Anyway, I hope that this time it will work. Will report back late afternoon/evening on how it went. If I again fail, I think it would be time for something else... by the way: there is no GLCore in the XF86Config to remove... I'll do a more detailed post of what I've done when I do it later. Hang in there and I'll keep you guys posted. |

| 203352 | 2003-12-29 23:16:00 | Yes, that'd be about right, as you're running vesa drivers and not nv (nv are open-sourced nvidia drivers, which dont offer as good performance as the Official drivers) Stick with it, its worth it :-) Chill. |
