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.



ACK!

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.




You need both the nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx packages. nvidia-kernel provides the kernel module,
nvidia-glx the userspace libraries. Alternatively, the NVIDIA...run scripts provide both.


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.


Well, I have a card (Terratec DMX 1024) that supports double stereo (front and back), so it should be
possible to configure it for 4 channels. However, I didn't try this yet. If you figure it out, could you share
your experiences?
