TIA Hi Dennis, I had to add these with the 6629 driver, --kernel-name=2.6.8.1-24mdk --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1-24mdk If this helps and it builds, as smiley suggests, make sure the "nvidia" is in your /etc/modprobe.preload config file. It would build but I had trouble with the 6629, same as Ron, glxinfo and glxgears would run for root, but no users, new or old, it would give segmentation faults. (strace showed the perms were /proc related, mmx and sse, -tls some type of threading issues, beyond my limited understanding. I posted this to the list, no replys, so I kept looking for answers) Ron mentioned the patched 6111 driver, I found this link on www.nvnews.net look for zander's reply from nvidia corp. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=43896&highlight=kernel+2.6.8 I reverted back to 6111 and downloaded the patch for this nvidia driver. Extracted the sources, patched them, added the installer parameters and it successfully compiled. My hardware is a GeForceFX 5200 with a nForce2 chipset and All is working now .. the only difference is, While not noticable, its 100-150 FPS slower 8( than the -12mdk kernel. HTH somehow .. p.s. also found this info on the club forum, "[10.1/10.2+] dkms : a new way to install 3rd party drivers" http://forum.mandrakeclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=32376 but don't know much about it. Dkms may make this easier when upgrading kernels, and it was used for 10.1 and -12mdk from the club CD's or DVD. May help someday. -- RickS gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.keyserver.net 0x24AABE61 ======================================================== When a ladder was stolen from a store, the manager said that further steps would be taken ..
