Have you guys looked at the nvidia site? They have 'drivers' (i.e., kernel modules) for their motherboard chipsets as well as their video cards. Perhaps that's what you both need. I know that nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx exist in Portage for the video cards, but that's not of much use if your kernel doesn't have the ability to talk to the mobo in the first place (and we do know that an nForce board does speak its own language). http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0306.html -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
