Can I ask about the symlink? Where is it and where should it point?
That was in a message Lars Ellenberg posted in this thread yesterday:
ln -sf /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
I cannot get the accelerated 3D feature of nvidia to work. The installer claims it is successful, but 3Ddiag says the driver installation failed. The 'device' section of XF86Config shows the driver as "nvidia". XFree86.0.log says the glx module failed to load, but the nvidia driver is loaded. Is there is a symlink that should point to glx but doesn't? Or perhaps I have more serious problems. This is for SuSE 8.2 with kernel 2.4.20-109.
if the nvidia module is loaded, this is not a problem of the kernel or kernel source, but of misconfiguration of your *X* libraries. and security related only insofar that nvidia is a closed source kernel driver, and you should not use it unless you trust them to not only be good at 3D graphics, but also at designing and implementing secure kernel level code :)
