Yes, I did change the driver as I mentioned:
"Incidentally, I did change the "nv" to "nvidia" in
the driver portion."
Still no luck for me. Did you happen to receive the
warning messages when you compiled your
NVIDIA_kernel-0.9-6??? They were:
"/tmp/ccvvfRE1.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccvvfRE1.s:9: Warning: Ignoring changed section
attributes for .modinfo"
Does anyone know what that means?
I'll try installing a 2.4 kernel tonight then and see
how that works out for me.
Any ideas are GREATLY appreciated.
