Just my experience HTH. > Graham Yeah, I think the "linux-" is throwing the nvidia-installer off, so it would seem you have to indicate the --kernel-source-path since it's not part of the "uname -r" that nvidia keeps refering to in the readme.
I did an strace on glxgears for root and my user, which was turning up permissions on some stuff in the /proc dir ... hmmm .. 686 and mmx ... So didn't want to go there. And as it turns out, I forgot I installed the xorg 6.8.1 from the Mandrake DVD, but it was missing some fonts, atleast the ones I like. So I re-installed 10.10 and updated xorg and I'm gonna try the new kernel and 6629 drivers tonite with this new install. Which is running really well right now ... ;) Thx for replying.. -- RickS Registered Linux user #338463 Mdk 10.1 OE - Linux 2.6.8.1-12mdk @ http://counter.li.org ================================================================ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.keyserver.net 0x24AABE61
