Re: NVIDIA driver (nvidia-kernel-source)
I'm still having some problems and I think it lies somewhere with the
module configuration.
Screen capture from 'startx':

I can see a nvidia module in /lib/modules:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o
The module appears to load, but isn't used for some reason:
-----
# lsmod

I don't understand where I'm going wrong and I feel that I'm stuck. :(
Answering my own question from earlier:
>> What is the difference between 'nvidia-kernel-source' and
>> 'nvidia-kernel-src'?
'nvidia-kernel-src' is older
I did my first bug report--related to was I wrote earlier. :)
