Personally it's better to run the drivers from NVidia.com with the full kernel-source (not stripped which Rick probably has, but will still work for the most part) and compile it, then avoid urpmi'ing the drivers from the CDs or online sources. I think the performance is much better anyway.

Not at all sure what the problem was with the 8178 packages. So I > will wait and try again when a 9xxx nvidia driver comes out. : )
