20 And luckily that fixed X-windows. I don't know why this broke. My kernel is
21 the same. But, I'm just glad this fixed it... Dunno why I didn't consider
22 this in the first place. I guess I only think of re-compiling the nVidia
23 drivers *IF* I change my kernel. Well, I guess I know this now for the
24 future in case. Thanks Bob for pointing out the obvious to me. ;-)
