Hey Michael, It is pretty simple to install your own Kernel, esp. using the HEAD repo.. Add the following to your YaST Repositories: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/KMP/openSUSE_Factory_KOTD_HEAD/ Download your respective Linux NVIDIA Driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html (You'll want to keep this around since you'll have to recompile when you do Kernel updates. Update your Kernel, when you reboot.. go into run level 3 and install the nvidia drivers using: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html Also, yes I've used the Vanilla Kernels from Kernels.org .. But no reason with the HEAD Build Service up for the 2.6.23 Kernel.. (I had previous done it the day the new Kernel came out). Good luck on your "Unrecognized Hardware" Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
