If I may add my $0.02 in here, in a non-gentoo environment you must 'chmod +x' the above file and then run it as root. It will check to see that the kernel you are running and /usr/src/linux match and then build and install the modules you need. It also installs a sample XF86Config for you so you can modify your existing one (IIRC, it's at least in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA-blah) HTH, -- Myles Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
