Okay, thanks. Good to know. I forget what "kludging" process I had to go through to get Mint to boot into text, I think I disabled the X server somehow. But even when I got to text mode, the Nouveau driver had loaded, which is why I eventually had to blacklist it before installing the proprietary nVidia driver. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.6
