That's your personal user account's error log. If you're having system
problems, they're more likely to show up in the X server log at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log or maybe in the syslog. What can you find there?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 8:04 AM, Thomas Milne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thomas.bruce.milne-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org">thomas.bruce.milne-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I installed Debian Squeeze, installed nvidia-dkms, and upgraded to unstable. As soon as I enable the nvidia driver, though, the system become totally unresponsive. All I get is a rapidly flashing cursor and a flashing numlock. If I reboot I can get into recovery mode and switch back to the generic driver, but that only gives me 800x600.<div>
