When I change the video card driver in XFConfig-4 from "nv" to "nvidia", I get an error saying that the nvidia module cannot be found.
You have not installed the nvidia-glx stuff properly then.
Do I have to recompile the kernel in some way to fix this? If so, I cannot find my kernel source (should be bf2.4) anywhere.
You will need to at least built the kernel-module (you would have to at least have kernel-source to do this i think). Go into /usr/src and look at the nvidia stuff it put there, then read the docs in /usr/share/nvidia-* to learn what you must do (installing the packages is not enough).
Good luck, Cameron Matheson
