Hi Tom,

Did you amend XF86Config (or Xorg.conf) as per the README instructions? There are specific notes about deleting certain lines in it and making sure the driver is changed from "nv" to "nvidia". If the proper one is loaded you should get the Nvidia splash screen as X loads up.

Taken from the README:

Remove the line:

     Driver "nv"
 (or Driver "vesa")
 (or Driver "fbdev")

and replace it with the line:

   Driver "nvidia"

Remove the following lines:

   Load "dri"
   Load "GLCore"

In the "Module" section of the file, add the line (if it does not already
exist):

Hope this helps :)

Kind regards,

Julian

   Load "glx"
