The latest NVIDIA drivers don't work. With kernel 2.4.20 I use the .2880 versions. With kernel 2.4.18 I use the .2313 versions. Be sure and read the NVIDIA READMEs carefully. The thing I missed the first time I did this (about a year and a half ago) is that I needed a "fully configured source tree". That means get the full kernel sources, do menuconfig or xconfig, and make dep. Make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux to point to the top of the kernel source tree. Then, in the top directory of the NVIDIA_kernel tree, do "make". After NVdriver reports it installed OK, go to the top of the NVIDIA_GLX tree and do "make". If you use kernel-package the drill is a little different. Kevin
