No... all you need is to compile the nvidia driver provided on their webpage be sure you have these packages installed i | kernel-desktop | Kernel optimized for the desktop | package i | kernel-desktop-base | Kernel optimized for the desktop - base modules | package i | kernel-desktop-devel | Development files necessary for building kernel modules | package i | kernel-devel | Development files needed for building kernel modules | package i | kernel-firmware | Linux kernel firmware files | package i | kernel-source | The Linux Kernel Sources | package plus the gnu compiler once driver downloaded the driver and the missing packages installed... boot in mode 3 and bash the nvidia driver... I am pretty sure somewhere on the wiki there are proper instructions. Alin On Thursday 13 January 2011 16:40:49 Roelof Wobben wrote:
