new kernel - no nvidia driver...

[Michael Willems]

This is getting me closer in any case... the NVdriver make fails, with
"unresolved symbol.." warnings.

Many thanks for all your advice by the way.

Michael

Did you get the src rpm form nvidia. Just start your new kernel, run make
in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-154
(and of coarse read the docs about setting up the XFConfig file and the
GLX libraries)

Did this all the time since RH71, the rawhide and roswell versions and
builds of the Thorvalds and Cox kernels. (this all on a Dell inspiron 8000
with nvidia gefroce 2 go)
