This line has a typo - specifically, the last "/" doesn't belong there. Some people have worked around it by putting NVdriver into /etc/modules, but I prefer doing fixes the right way. -- Murray J.

No. I downloaded the .src.rpm and rpmbuild --rebuild.

I didnot edit modules.conf however I have the following line in my modules.conf: alias char-major-195 NVdriver Somehow this line does not seem right. At any rate, more detail on what you're discuessing would be greatly apprecaited, or rather a link to where I can obtain this information myself. Thanks, Nelson Bartley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Cooker] 2.4.18-8mdk Nvidia 2802 failure
Are you using AGP? I had to use 1x (instead of 2x or 4x)AGP otherwise my box would look at the kdm screen. This did not happen previously. Putting agp to 1x didn't affect performance much anyway. Danny
