Re: NVidia drivers and 2.6.18...

FWIW, I'm running xorg from backports, which is 6.9.0.  Will that work with
the drivers?  I can change the dependency and rebuild the package if it
will.

This is a server (at my house) but it IS running backports for x
windows/KDE.  I'm also putting the mythtv frontend on it (it's the backend
too) and that's why I need the nvidia drivers.

Thanks for the info!

Take care,
