Default Re: Start up Problem

How did You install the drivers?

Nevermind, when booting add to the boot option init 3 (it's probable that init does nothing and this 3 activates runlevel 3). When You get to the 3rd runlevel you run sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia and You then set appropriate resolution. You click change to make sure it got the correct settings, then save then ok. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESTART THE PC!!

when you are at the command prompt after running that command you type:

sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start (it should ask for password), if it does not work then login with su and run above command without sudo.

This should start the x server. If the resolution will be fine then you are set if not then as a last resort try NVidia's tool by typing nvidia-settings in the konsole.

You can set resolution there and some other settings.
