Not sure why they show on boot not being loaded, when they apparently are springing to life. X has started, and as it did the nvidia logo displayed. I never turned it off in xorg.conf, and I am looking at my very nice WindowMaker display and background.

The hard part of it all. So I guess I will delay that nice upgrade of my hard drive to that 10K SATA. 8-( I figured if things went so bad that I had to start over, then I would at least upgrade the drive, been wanting to do that for a while. So the only mystery is why the modules appear not to load on boot. Daniel, and all others, thanks again, you made the difference. Sean P.S. now up to package 17 -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
