When you install a new kernel, you need to remerge nvidia-kernel. If nvidia-kernel do not compile with win4lin-sources, you need to post the errors if you need help. Also remember that /usr/src/linux should be a symlink to the sources of your current kernel, or the kernel you want to be used when building modules .... thus check that /usr/src/linux points to the source tree of the win4lin-sources .... -- Martin Schlemmer Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop/System Team Developer Cape Town, South Africa
