Re: nvidia-kernel module problem with kernel-source-2.4.18



Hello,

I have a small thing to add I just remembered:
There is some documentation on the nvidia. Have a look
at:

/usr/share/doc/nvidia-*-src

I hope this helps - those docs really helped me !
(I'm not sure, but I think they are placed there after
downloading the nvidia sources stuff
