Yes, I've been using it too without problem, but now that I know better, I'm doing it the right way. ;-) For anyone who's interested, I'm attaching a script to automatically update your NVIDIA driver if, when you boot up, the driver is detected to have been invalidated (either thru an XFree86/Mesa upgrade or a kernel upgrade), which has worked wonderfully for me with all the changes in Rawhide lately. Note that it requires kernel-source and gcc32 installed to work, and the kernel now must be one compiled w/ gcc 3.2. And don't be surprised it if it breaks, it's really not made to be super robust. ;-) Install instructions are in the script's comments. > > Good luck. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Frustrated with dial-up?
