The NVidia drivers come in 2 peices: the DRI driver, and the GLX libraries. The kernel DRI driver does, in fact, contain source. However the GLX library (which must be installed to replace the default Mesa GLX library) is binary only. It "complies" but it's shipped as a pre-compiled module (.o file). - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
