    aren't you supposed to recompile nvidia module everytime you change the kernel? have a look at an nvidia howto on how to recompile it. In the meantime, change your xorg.conf: instead of nvidia, use nv.
    Code:
    sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bustedcopy04152006
    sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Navigate with arrows and page up-down. replace nvidia with nv (and if that doesn't work, replace that with vesa). save with ctrl + o (letter O), say yes. Exit with ctrl + x. Start X with startx (command). Once X is up and running, go to your favorite nvidia howto, check out how to recompile driver (?if needed?) etc.

    Well, another alternative is to wait for an nvidia expert to reply

    Question device-mapper: error adding target to table

    Hi,

    after compilling the new kernel, lots of these
    device-mapper: error adding target to table
    errors appeared.

    I have no clue what caused them. I've googled something about LVM, but in my case I have only one hdd and I think that LVM is useless for me.

    Any ideas?

    Miro

    Re: device-mapper: error adding target to table

    Thanks a lot for the howto. It worked great and i got a significant speed improvement.

    I have only one problem: When i try to install vmware i get the following error:

    Code:
    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
    kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
    
    The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
    address space size as your running kernel.
    Can anyone help me out?

    Try backing up your configuration, remove it, then try getting the latest version an compile it from source. Then it should work.

    Should i remove the old vmware configuration or the kernel configuration?

    You should/can remove your vmware configuration. DON'T Delete your kernel config.

    Sorry that I'm not of much help. Let's see if anyone else knows.

    MasterChief1234, I greatly appreciate your HowTo! But, one thing, my wifi isn't working, so I read the bottom of your HowTo and followed the ndiswrapper installation, but I'm stuck on the last step:

    I'm not sure as to what I put in each bracket. An example would be incredibly helpful to me.

    2.6.16 is my kernel version (thanks to MasterChief1234 )
    1.13 is my ndiswrapper version

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    ok, the brackets mean to put the name of the file in there. Assuming that you compilied ndiswrapper in your home directory:

    1. Open terminal

    2. in terminal type

    sudo dpkg NAME HERE

    then

    sudo dpkg -i OTHER NAME HERE

    3. You may need to install one package before the other.

    What I like to do is drag the .deb file into terminal so I don't need to do anything else so do this.

    sudo dpkg -i then put a space and drag the .deb file into terminal.
