OK, I think I know whats's wrong
when I try to use NVdriver with the Win4Lin kernel it doesn't load eg:
insmod NVdriver =
Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-win4lin/video/NVdriver
/lib/modules/2.2.14-win4lin/video/NVdriver: kernel-module version mismatch
/lib/modules/2.2.14-win4lin/video/NVdriver was compiled for kernel
version 2.2.14-5.0
while this kernel is version 2.2.14-win4lin.
so if I do insmod -f NVdriver everthing is GREAT,
so the question now is how can I get NVdriver to be force loaded on boot ?
which file do I need to edit for this to happen ?
Kind Regards

No trelos provide a patch for all the latest stable kernels about 60kb in
size.
or prebuilt replacenment kernels for many major distributions.
(or course I chose to build my own) which should work for your case.
As for NVdriver it's a kernel module and a large one at that. Which
you compile some c code and link some binary stuff to make the module.
Some binary code is there for it. (you haven't noticed all 3d apps include
XFree86 4.0 are like at least 130Mb in size? as reported by top when using
the OpenGL libs from nvidia?
So when using a win4lin patched kernel NVdriver loads ok or not?
