What is it that makes this necessary?
I have never had to edit my XF86Config-4 file but the initial time after installing my NVidia card. Since then, I just use the same one (I saved a copy of the NVidia XF86Config-4 file into my home directory so I don't have to mess with it again upon installing a new distro version, etc, just copy it to /etc/X11). The only thing I have ever had to do is rebuild the NVidia driver rpms for any new kernel I install or rebuild. Then just do an 'rpm - -ivh <NVidia rpms>'. Reboot and that's it. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+he+/wDUPEkSvRHERAq9hAJ914KNW6tvIUpLRqsdSJYbpysK5XwCfTfOy KEH8fW4G7NN48VvNsROcZ3A= =Dhfi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
