You need to get the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website and run the installer. When you do it will tell you if it has an interface ready and available for the kernel. If it doesn't, then it will tell you that as well, and at that point it will ask you about recompiling. Run thru the questions and you should have some new Nvidia drivers installed. After that you naturally need to follow the directions listed in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_kernel-2.4.22.26mdk-5328 Or whatever other /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_* directory was created. These directions will tell you what you need to do to the XF86Config-4 file. If you get it working ok a report back telling about success would be nice. LX
