Just at a guess from what I see, you do not have the "kernel-sources"
installed. They are on the d/l CDs. Not sure what other problems you may have
with the smp configuration. The discussions on the proprietary vs open
source cards go on, but I have yet to find a open source card that has the
frame rate vs cost of the nvidia. The radeon cards in the 8500 class are
supposed to be open sourced soon I hear, but they are in the $140 + range and
I don't want to spend more money on a card until I know it will be open
source. So there we are, stuck with NVidia, Hope the kernel-sources file is
the answer to your problem. HTH
