Well, I don't think you are going to see the performance from the Mandrake driver that you will see from the Nvidia driver. Even Tom Brinkman, who foreswears using the proprietary driver, IIRC, has said as much. As long as you have the kernel sources, the Nvidia driver should install fine, no matter which kernel you are running. -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Truth is hard to find and harder to obscure.
