I installed the Nvidia driver for Daper Drake and I have one problem hopefully someone can help with. When I log out I just get a white screen and can not log back in, I have to shut down the computer by the power button. Any suggestions?

Sorry arnieboy it didn't work. Still get the white screen loging out and have to shut down with the power button. Will try something else. Thanks anyway.

you mean you are not being dropped into console?
It might be an issue with your monitor in that case.
Are you sure ctrl-alt-F1 (all 3 pressed together) doesnt work? press all 3 when the system apparently hangs at the white screen.

do the following from console (which you can go into by pressing ctrl-alt-F1 after X server fails):
there first log in with ur user name and password and then issue the following command
when the file opens up, scroll down to the "Devices" section and change the word "nvidia" to "nv"
press ctrl-X and hit Y (that will save the file and you will go back to console).
now restart your computer.
also please paste the output of the following command if the above works:

use this howto and enable restr.modules
