    I use Debian Woody 3.0
    I have downloaded the nvidia graphics driver version 1.0-4496 from
    nvidia.com,
    i have installed it succesfully, with sh (filename).run
    --kernel-include-path (my kernel source path).
     
    Before it's working okay, the X-window starts successfully.
    but then the other time, I reformat my hard-disk, reinstall my debian
    woody, recompile kernel 2.4.18 and reinstall my nvidia driver, the
    problems happen.
     
    the x-window starts with a scrambled nvidia logo, (not just scrambled
    but it's wrecked), and the x-window won't start, and keeps idle until i
    restart with ctrl+alt+del,
     
    I check the XFree86.0.log, and after
    loading the nvidia glx extension
    there is a signal 11 error (i suppose it happens because i press
    ctrl+alt+del)
    besides that there is no problem
     
    i have configured XF86Config-4 according to readme file,
    adding Option "NvAgp" "1" on the devices section line,
    and i read the log files, the nvagp were loaded successfully
     
    so what is the problem actually ??,
    this is very weird, I don't do any system change, all i'm doing is
    reinstalling debian, recompile kernel and reinstall the driver, why is the
    situation could be differ ?
     
    by the way i'm using GeForce4 Ti4200-8X and ASUS A7N8X-X with nforce2
    chipset
     
    so help me pls ?
