SOLVED: nvidie module not found but is present

[michael <linux@networkingnewsletter.org.uk>]

        Hi - trying to follow instructions for nvidia drivers and thought I'd
        made it but i get the following which makes no sense to me... all ptrs
        welcome
        
        
        michael@ratty:/etc/X11$ sudo modprobe nvidia
        FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
        (/lib/modules/2.6.8-3-686-smp/nvidia/nvidia.ko): No such device
        michael@ratty:/etc/X11$
        file /lib/modules/2.6.8-3-686-smp/nvidia/nvidia.ko
        /lib/modules/2.6.8-3-686-smp/nvidia/nvidia.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB
        relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
        michael@ratty:/etc/X11$
        
        
        ie the file is there!
        

Okay, problem solved. Hands-up time too! Putting an nVidia video card
into the PCI slot before trying to do the 'modprobe nvidia' helps!
