Re: NVdriver problems
I may be completely wrong here, but I was under the impression that the
nvidia drivers will only work with XFree 4.01 or greater. And to get any
of the real benefits out of XFree 4.01 (hardware 3d renedering etc) you
need a 2.4.x kernel.
Thus if I were you, I'd get hold of a 2.4.2 kernel, complile with support
for AGP and DRI, upgrade XFree86 to the latest, and then try reinstalling
the nvidia modules: they work great here.
