YES! Of course, I had to compile the kernel so the nvidia installer could build its driver (couldn't find it on the nvidia.com site!), but my screen is now where it should be - 1280x1024, using the NVIDIA Generic (unknown) card.... It does some strange things, like leave a vertical bar when I left arrow at each stopping point in my gmail editor, but that clearsa as soon as I type something. So it's not perfect, but what a difference! Thanks! Now I can actually use this thing! Jazzed! mhr On 3/18/07, Barry Brimer <lists at brimer.org> wrote: > > > Problem is, I can't get to init level 3.
