Also what do you have installed as far as software versions (xorg, that sort of thing)? I know in Fedora there are different versions of the Nvidia drivers that you have to get from a separate repo ( I think Debian calls them non free contribs, wouldn't know about any version of Unbuntu), to me it sounds like you have the wrong drivers installed. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Message: 3 Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:31:14 -0800 From: "Justin P.

In your case If you have nvidia you probably should be using nv, nouveau, or the proprietary module. if you can does changing your xorg.conf to use vesa/vga have the xserver start properly? Justin P.

Well, my xorg.conf is set up to use the nVidia proprietary module: Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "Quadro FX 570" EndSection The X server will start properly and it allows me to log in. Sometimes my session will last hours, other times it will restart 3 or 4 times in 15 minutes. I have left it logged in without it restarting on its own, so it definitely appears to be triggered by something. I can say this, I'm typing 100% of the time it ups and restarts on me. I have left the proprietary driver out and still received a restart, too. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
