The makedev script should be an automatic part of the compile process. You could try using mknod with the following major/minor. I gotta sleep, so no specific help until I'm less busy (maybe not this week).
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ll /dev/nv* crw------- 1 eric root 195, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/nvidia0 crw------- 1 eric root 195, 255 Dec 31 1969 /dev/nvidiactl This is with devfs installed, so the unused ones don't show up. Oh, that might be the problem with the sript you found. Mandrake is the only distro I know of that uses devfs. Devfs hides devs you don't need. The script probably assumes they should be there. I bet if you unmount your devfs (I'm not sure of the repercussions of doing this), you'll have the nvidia1 and others sitting there. Those are just for if you have multiple GF cards in your system (and possibly if you have an onboard GF chip like me, then add an AGP GF). I don't think that's the problem here. It seems that you're loading the driver correctly, its just hardlocking, which seems to indicate that the driver doesn't support your hardware. -Eric Hattemer On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 23:31, Rodney Kanno wrote: > I have found ascript to that checks my NVIDIA setup, when I run it, I get > this error message: > > "All the files seem to exist.
