As a FYI. I just tested the following structure which works OK. In /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-04-06 20:40 nvidia-190.53_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-190.53_drv.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2010-04-06 20:40 nvidia-195.36.15_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 2010-04-06 20:40 nvidia_drv.so -> nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4287708 2010-01-03 13:31 nvidia-graphics-190.53_drv.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5278272 2010-03-28 02:02 nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so i.e. change nvidia-graphics-190.53/nvidia_drv.so to nvidia-graphics-190.53_drv.so change nvidia-graphics-195.36.15/nvidia_drv.so to nvidia-graphics-195.36.15_drv.so and ln "the one to use" to nvidia_drv.so Auric. (as this works would indicate it is indeed looking in sub-dirs) _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
