ok.... what does this mean???
I had to reboot, and redo my video. When I rebooted ( I thought I would,
since I had added so many trinity apps..).
when I rebooted I got dropped to a text login prompt. When I looked in &
did startx it took me RIGHT to XFCE screen, no kdm/gdm login screen..
tried dpkg-reconfigure kdm-trinity, same thing. tried dpkg-reconfigure
gdm & selected gdm. reboot, same text login..
redid the NVIDIA setup yet again, finally started X..
$ ps -ef|grep gdm
