Have you looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what is not working? Also |
| 71 |
look in /var/log/kdm.log to see if there is any errors in there. You |
| 72 |
may have other files that may have a error message that will give clues |
| 73 |
as to what is not working. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
May help to post those as well. even the commands like "cat |
| 76 |
/var/log/kdm.log | grep EE" and "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE" may |
| 77 |
provide some info. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
Also, try lsmod to see if the module is even loading at all. I know |
| 80 |
sometimes my nvidia does not load when I update the kernel. |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
These are just ideas but may be worth a try. |
