You probably already stumbled on this but in case you haven't:

I, personally always use a gentoo cd as my main recovery live cd. Small (download that is) and has most needed tools (webbrowser, gcc, g++, ssh, etc)

Sorry about that, you probably shouldn't mount it.


>Yes, my...

Are you using ext2? Well anyway, boot up with a livecd mount the drive and fsck it.

Try replacing /dev/input/mice with /dev/psaux.

An easier pain free way is just nvidia-xconfig

you could blacklist it I guess.. not sure how to do it with non BSD init scripts or ubuntu (yes BSD init scripts rock). Ubuntu tends to complicate things by making them simple!

get a real distro, debian should be good for you. And yes you will be. Debian and some other distros do not include that much proprietary software in their repositories. So you might have to get it...

linux compatible?

Thanks. I followed the instruction exactly and It worked!

I checked my packages under synaptic and It says that I already have the
"nvidia-kernel-common." Does this mean I do not need to build another kernel?

I am new to linux and I just installed ubuntu on my hp dv6000t laptop. I try to download the nvidia-glx but when I try to install it with the command "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" command it...
