what causes that error message to be displayed?

to get x windows i have to su and modprobe nvidia and log out su and startx.
any way around that?

well....i had all configured so i have the graphical screen where you can choose user and log in....but after nvidia driver installation i'm not even getting that. so i tried "startx" to get to the x windows. and that's when i'm getting that msg.

are you using XFree86 or Xorg?

**flaczki** · 11-30-2004

seems like both conf files are in my mdk 10.1 distro. but when i changed XFree86, the second one got changed too.....from control center in mandrake it looks like it's mainly using Xorg.conf one.

what does the section in your xorg.conf about the video card say?
