Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated. So currently the installation worked ok. It was hard to install it, but the end product is worth the sweat. Only a couple of more problems left, 1. The nvidia-kernel got compiled and installed but Xfree86 was unable to find the binary X module, a situation which I rectified by downloading the NVIDIAxxx5336.run from nvidia.com and installing it. 2. Surround sound (5.1 or greater)in linux, has anyone tried this on any of your sound cards? Audigy, sb live 5.1, or nforce2 (a7n8x and other motherboards based on the nforce2 chipset can have surround sound). To enjoy surround sound you will have to try to play a dvd with mplayer dvd:// --channels 6 and see if it works.
