Dwain (here is the long version),
thanks for the lengthy reply. as one poster noted i should have been
in runlevel 3 when i installed the driver. i was in runlevel 5, so i
guess i screwed up royally.
my question is, if i do a startx, go to the console, switch to
runlevel 3 and reinstall the driver, will it correct my error and boot
into the kde desktop?
regards,
dwain

The simple way is
Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text screen
login as root
"init 3"
graphics setup commands .........
"init 5"
that should put you back at the login for youe KDE or whatever else you use .
