Re: My computer gets stalled when I try to exec the X window system (It was can't compile Nvidia driver)

I've fixed this problem changing the jumpers of the motherboard.

I've changed 2 jumpers:

1. On-board VGA = off
2. IRQ assigned by motherboard (or something like that) = off

And now I've got the Nvidia driver working fine.

Thanks!!!
