Hi All,

I just installed the new nVidia driver using apt-get.

When I tried to restart X, it failed. Here's what's in the XFree86.0.log file:

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

The only attached monitor is my TV using SVideo. There is a configured NEC 
multisync in the Config which I used to originally install.

I'm using Axel's kernel 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl_48.rhfc1.at and installed the 
new driver using Jarod's recommended:
# apt-get install kernel-module-nvidia-graphics6106-$MYKERNEL
# apt-get install nvidia-graphics6106

I had tried it with "RenderAccel" "1" and without and get the same error.

I know I can always go back to the old driver that was working, but I'd 
rather move to the new one and get the best quality I can.

Any ideas what's going on here? What other info would you like?

--Pete
