Having trouble compiling the nVidia kernel driver to use with the 2.4.0 kernel. I compile while running 2.4.0.
On the newbie@xfreee.org mailing list just last night the was a post pointing to a patched version of nvidia's 0.9.5 kernel driver that LETS it work with x4.0.2 and kernel 2.4.0. I'm at work right now and don't have the info as to where to get it but IF I'm reminded when I get home I'll pass the info on to this list/you if someone else hasn't already posted it here. I beleive (not sure) you may have to compile x4.0.2 from source. I'll CC myself to this message so I'll get it at home tonight to remind me. It may not make it till Wed morning though.
I beleive it can be found at sourceforge.net. Something about kernel 2.4, x4.0.r, nvidia, and hitchhiker.
I plan on trying it as soon as I get everything else working with 2.4.0 kernel.

Thanks Mark, Perhaps I need to compile the XFree. I had installed it (4.01) earlier. I think it was from the SuSE site and from RPM. The linuxnewbie.org article that you are mentioning is what I am using as a guide. So I do have that reference. I ASSumed that since I already had XF 4.01 working I could skip that step - so now a step back and try again. Thanks again, Kurt
