Matt, Thanks much. You proved I couldn't even spell NVidia! No wonder I've been an ATI guy up until now! ;-) OK, everything is emerged and I've modified the XF86config file as instructed. I'm getting an error message NV: could not open control device /dev/nvidiactl (No such file or directory) (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Indeed, /dev/nvidiactl does not exist. Are there any specific options I needed to enable in my kernel to make this work? agpgart? Other stuff? dri/drm? That's required by the Radeon family, but this is a new box and new kernel, so likely I didn't get somethign turned on if required. Thanks, MArk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
