Hi again pr-man,
 
I believe Xandros is Debian based is it not? Then it's a cinch. You can download the correct drivers using apt-get. Does Xandros have the synaptic front end for apt-get? If so, just do a search for "nvidia" and the correct kernel should come up for you to install.
 
 

dan i dont know if it has app get or not, how can i tell?

 
First, look in your menu and see if you have "synaptic," which is a front end for apt-get. If it's not there, it's simple to install. Oen a terminal and become root:
 
su [enter]
 
It will ask for password. Type it in and press enter. Then:
 
apt-get update [enter]
 
Let it do it's thing, then do the above step a second time. Then do:
 
apt-get install synaptic [enter]
 
After synaptic installs, just type:
 
synaptic [enter]
 
And it should come right up. The "GUI" is very intuitive and easy to follow. Do a search on nvidia and the correct nvidia kernel should come up.

Dan from what I just read Xandros does have apt-get they cal it Xandros Network which is apt-get with a pretty shell but I think it only has access to apps and updates on their servers

Do they have nvidia kernels in their repositories? I think danleff is familiar with Xandros, maybe he'll know about how to install the nvidia drivers...

If you wanna install the NVIDIA drivers manually then you have to close X by editing
 
/etc/inittab
 
change (init:5) to (init:3)
 
then restart your pc. You will notice that your system will not go into the GUI but remain at the terminal. X is now closed. Then go ahead and run the installer. Check ou the documentation at www.nvidia.com for more details.

iam root I looked at the file using pico but I dont see where to edit that part
 
only init part i see is at the very beginning and it says init:(8) configuration
 
do u have aim or msn or icq so we can chat on this?
