Any advise? > -Steven > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Just to check: 1. You install the drivers at run level 3? 2. The tainting the kernel is a warning message that can be ignored as is the message about rivafb. 3. I have never had the script find a driver, it always has to compile one. 4. I am confused. The driver module should end up where the other video drivers are , like the nv driver. Is it there? If so how can a reboot remove it? You ar leaving something out in your expalnation of what you are doing. -- ======================================================================= A man is known by the company he organizes. -- Ambrose Bierce ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
