Yeah, the nvidia installer doesn't check whether you have rivafb loaded, it just checks if the kernel has that module compiled. Since Mdk kernels do, it always gives that warning. When I got the warning, I checked that I wasn't using that module. Check in /etc/modprobe.conf and modprobe.preload for a 2.6 kernel, or modules.conf for a 2.4 kernel), but there was no reference to it. You can also do an "lsmod|grep rivafb" to check that it's not currently loaded. But you don't need to bother unless you have problems running the driver, in which case this is one of the things to check. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
