Re: quick fix for building nvidia xfree4 drivers on kernel 2.4.0-test11

[dude <dude@deletia.com>]

can you give specific instruction in  building the kernel.

i saw on on tomshardware site that worked for 2.2
is it essentialy the same for 2.4?

when i tried it with 2.4 and nvdriver, i get a screen that just blinks off
and on.

anywaht thanks
