Or<br>> is it the nVidia driver? The hang point seems to be when nVidia gets<br>> invoked and X Starts. kdm/gdm do not even seem to get a chance to
load.<br>><br>> 2) What, if anything can I do to get it to work, or help you guys

here. When I run the extract script, I get <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw </span>Am I suppose to do anything with this?
