What video card do you have? Xandros 3 with sp2 should be using v1.0.7174 of nvidia's drivers, are they not working properly for you?

The instructions you are following from NVIDIA are intended for installing their driver into an unsupported kernel:

I recently made the mistake of installing the recommended NVIDIA@ GeForce 6200 driver update from XN onto my Dell Inspiration running XN 4.2 -that's 2 as in downloaded less than 2 months and it crashed Xandros. Now, when I get to the login setup, it's all text. I can put my user name into the text, and then my password. They are both accepted. But guys, I like pictures. If there are no pictures, I am almost lost. Can someone help me return to the blue login/desktop screen of hope please!!??

Can you boot into safe video mode & see what control center thinks it's using for a video driver?

I booted into troubleshooting, and tried to repair, then into safe mode, saw the console and was intimidated. So, I reinstalled xandros. Now I am downloading programs. Thanks anyway for your help

MacUser- You might be better served by downloading Xandros 4.0 OCE.. It has been difficult to find as of late, but there are still places available linked on this site..

I appreciat you guys' help. This is by far the most helpful forum that I have ever participated in.

Just want to show my ignorance. Why do I need it? What I have is working fine. XN says that it is a recommended upgrade for everyone and that is why I downloaded it to start with.

Star88- You should be good to go actually.. The update covers certain 6200 cards with a non-standard pcimap.. If your card is working fine, it is not necessary, since it only adds the entry for those 6200 cards.. That being said, it won't hurt anything if it is installed. It doesn't add anymore functionality to cards already supported by that driver.
