I logged into a text terminal and tried startx. That failed so I checked the log file. It told me that I was too stupid to own a computer. Well actually it told me that I was too stupid to reinsert the GPU power plug on my video card after I got done replacing the cooling fan that was dying. Once that was done it boots up nicely. 3D acceleration is working. 2D acceleration is greatly improved. My glxgears went from 200 FPS to 4100 FPS. I know, glxgears isn't a reliable indicator of performance, but it is good enough to indicate a relative change in performance. I've noticed that service lm_sensors status no longer reports the temperature of my GPU. Oh well. Thanks again to all who helped. I really appreciate you holding my hand through all this. Now I need to start a new thread to fix my microphone input on my sound card not working today when it was working yesterday. Not related to the video driver. -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004
