Ok, here goes my ignorance again...I have 1.8 (I believe 32 bit) running on 1 machine...had been working perfectly, until (I think) a kernel update??? Was running 2.6.24-19...and I think the update took me to 2.6.24-21...Now when I start, it reverts to low graphics mode, if I restart, hit escape, then select generic 2.6.24-19, everything is fine??? How do I get back to where I was, or how do I fix " -21" so that everything is back to normal???

I guess you have to re-install all your restricted drivers using envy.

Well, I certainly hate that! Trying to move the giant "X" cursor is like rolling a bolder around the screen

Yeah, no brail method here! Ok, for those of you who are as much in the dark as I am, here's what I did that "seemed" to work...move the giant "X" to continue..click... then when you get to your desk-top..go to Applications>System tools>Envy...and select "Uninstall Nvidia"...let it do it's thing.I think there was a restart, then when you get back to your desktop, Application>system tools>Envy..."Install Nvidia"...restart, and things seem, at least for now to be back to normal
...."friggin updates

Stop complaining, Deate!! When I bought my new system I got all on board!! Video, Audio etc.
When you get a new system make sure everthing included is Linux friendly and on board!!

Complaining is my strong suit! You know, what I do best in life
I just hate that simple updates make you have to re-evaluate what happened to a system that was working perfectly...this in it self is enough to drive converts back to Windows...IMHO...instead of pouring his money into making a "Pretty" GUI, the Head Honcho ought to pour that money into making sure updates don't bork drivers

Have any of you verified that your not running 'unsupported' or 'back ports' in your software sources for updates??? I know I got bit- in the backside a couple weeks ago, cause somehow it was selected - I don't remember selecting them and am very cautious about it (I've been bit before).
