All, Thanks to everyone who responded to my dilema of trying to get the NVIDIA_kernel RPM for my LM 8.1 system. I did as everyone suggested and downloaded, rebuilt, and instlled the source RPM. Things seemed to go well as the packages installed, with only the customary warnings that NVIDIA warns you about when installing the packages. I made the necessary changes in my /etc/X11/XFconfig-4 (i think that's what it's called, i'm not at my linux box) as suggested by NVIDIA's website, and then rebooted. Things booted up just fine, but as soon as X started up and showed the KDM login screen, the machine completely locked up, forcing to press the reset button to get out of it. Anyone have any more suggestions on how to remedy this situation? I've looked the the Xserver logs, and nothing seems out of the ordinary. It shows that the NVIDIA kernel, the NVdriver, and even the glx libraries loading ok (at least it doesn't show any errors about loading them). Does anyone have any other suggestions to get this to work properly?
Thanks! Terry
