Okay, I finally did the YOU update, got the patched kernel. When it was
done, it told the thing about having to reinstall the nvidia drivers. No
problem, I'd already downloaded the 4496.run package. (I hated to do this
next, because I was at 36 days uptime! heh)...I restarted the system, at the
place where I choose which OS to run, I instead type 'init 3' (no quotes),
enter as root, and once there I enter 'mc' and navigate to where the nvidia
file is. Now, I did the 'export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes' and hit enter, then
typed in 'sh <nvidia package.run>', and it did what it had to, then it told
me to run sax2 from there also. Still in mc, I just typed sax2, and entered
the pertinent info. Your monitor settings is what's giving the headaches I
bet. If you don't know the freq's it works at, you'll have to do a bunch of
experimenting while in sax2, keep trying the different offered settings til
one works. Then enable 3D, let it test it, finish, and you should be good to
go. Once it's all done and your looking at mc again, just type 'reboot' and
that should be it.
The newest drivers gave me an extra 100fps, which I won't complain about,
going from 1893fps to 1993fps on a mx400 32MB card.
