Easy to test if the nvidia-driver is loaded correctly. |
| 41 |
What does "dmesg" say when loading the nvidia module? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Also, is "nvidia" listed in the following file: |
| 44 |
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I don't have it there, for some reason it's "autoloaded", but it might help? |
