Qt: 3.3.0 KDE: 3.2.0 Kaboodle: 1.7 Noatun: 2.4.0 I couldn't even access a console login prompt with "CTRL-ALT-F1". * media-video/nvidia-kernel : [ I] 1.0.4496-r3 (2.4.26-grsec-2.0) * media-video/nvidia-glx Latest version installed: 1.0.4496 bash-2.05b# lspci [...] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a3) Has that something to do with my installed software (KDE, nvidia drivers?)?
