I am running a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Ge Force 5200 64meg video card.  I
downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia's website
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run.  I followed the instructions in their
read.me exactly and had no problems with the installation.  During the
installation it did ask if I wanted NVIDIA to install a new kernel and I did
select yes.   Here is where the problem is I was configuring xorg.conf  as
follows:

 

 

Section "Monitor"

        Identifier   "Monitor0"

        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"

        ModelName    "LCD Panel 1920x1200"

        HorizSync       31.5-110

        VertRefresh     28-90

        Modeline "1920x1200"  193.16  1920 2048 2256 2592  1200 1201 1204
1242  -HSync +Vsync

 

       # Modeline "1920x1200" 162 1920 1984 2176 2480 1200 1201 1204 1250
+hsync +vsync

        Option      "dpms"

EndSection

 

Section "Device"

        Identifier  "Videocard0"

        Driver      "nvidia"

        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"

        BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce FX (generic)"

        Option      "NoLogo" "yes"

EndSection

 

Section "Screen"

        Identifier "Screen0"

        Device     "Videocard0"

        Monitor    "Monitor0"

        DefaultDepth     24

        SubSection "Display"

                Viewport   0 0

                Depth     24

                #Modes    "1920x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960"
"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

                Modes    "1920x1200""1680x1050" "1400x1050" "1280x1024"
"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

        EndSubSection

EndSection

 

Section "DRI"

        Group        0

        Mode         0666

EndSection

 

 

 

 

I changed my inittab back to 5.  I shutdown -r now and the system rebooted.
It rebooted normally it checked audio storage network hardware ok then it
said "configuring kernel parameters" and freezes.  The only thing I can do
at that point is power down the machine.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Mathew
