Yeah, silly me, thinking I could install a kernel and build the same friggin Nvidia driver that I have built 20x before without having to visit a Linux forum ! > Anyone with even a little linux experience (which, despite your claims to the > contrary clearly you don't have) Well buddy, I've been running Linux only since Redhat 8.

Again. The old kernel ran all my hardware, should I expect that the new one won't ? And btw, are there hardware release notes that I am supposed to read or should I start going through the kernel source ? > Couple this with the fact > it is a *TESTING* kernel.... well, you are starting to look a right plonker. When will you guys start to understand that there is NO ISSUE with my new kernel ! Nvidia built better for this kernel than it did for the stock fc6 2798 kernel, where we HAD TO EDIT SOURCE CODE TO GET IT TO BUILD. Oh, that was a one time thing ? Sure... LET ME SAY THIS: IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO BUILD A DRIVER ! Too many things can and do go wrong ! -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc.
