Yeah, I am running a k7 kernel nowadays, no problems with nvidia there. Using
64 bit kernel (either full 64-bit install, or just the kernel) seems to be
more problems than fun, be it flash and multimedia-codecs on full 64-bit
install, or this nvidia stuff using this method...
Guess I stick with my trusty k7 kernel then.
Thanks anyway!
