Well known that nvidia doesn't do any open source for anything. > Building was the only option as nVidia does not offer a driver for the > default Redhat Kernel (Probably due to the stock RH9.0 kernel being out > of date) Exclusively due to nvidia being up themselves about releasing specs so an open source driver can be made and included with the kernel. You have a choice between using your compiler to make some glue around nvidia's binary only driver so it loads into your kernel, or using something better than nvidia. Very simple. nvidia doesn't even allow Linux vendors to ship the binary driver with their distributions, so if you're looking for someone's fault, it would be you with your choice of hardware rather than RH with their kernel ;) (No I don't usually defend RH *grin*) > And am wondering, is there anyway to use this hotplug thing to > automatically mount the USB device when it is inserted and removed using > this thing called hotplug? Yes, works out of the box and very well on my distro (SuSE 8.2, about half a year old now) and without me doing anything whatsoever. As it works well by itself I don't really know how it works, but investigate the scripts in the directory /etc/hotplug, something's broken there if it doesn't just beep and work.
