Has anyone faced a problem with installing the Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 5.10
I have an Intel 815 mobo (integrated graphics), but I'm using the AGP slot with GeForce 2 MX 400.
When i try to install the driver using "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" (as in ubuntuguide.org) everything installs ...but then when i restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace) or restart the comp ... the machine reboots at the point when x is trying to come up.
So then i tried installing the official nvidia drivers. Since it didnt have precompiled module for the kernel (i'm using the one that came with 5.10) it build it (i downloaded gcc 3.4 for that and kernel headers), but the same thing happens again. Every time it tries to start x it reboots.
I could do with some help here.

I'm using nvidia drivers on current PC,
I installed the drivers, "apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings" and then ran the following: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
then had to tweak the xorg.conf for the monitor settings and resolution for my monitor,
did you run the nvidia-glx-config enable
