Yes, and I have it, but it fails to apply. The patch instructs are a bit obtuse to me. I've watched the errors because they can't code worth a damn go by even when it says the build is good, been doing it for a couple of years. Strange things have happened in that 2 years too, such as getting LSN0 wiped clean at least once. Screw it, I need something more stable than NVIDIA's own drivers have proven to be. >> As a tv engineer, that sucks, so I'm damned either way. > >As a tv engineer, you are damned no matter what.
