Set word wrap on your MUA to 75 or so.
Which GLX are you trying to use? Utah-GLX is for 3.3.6 servers. The
GLX stuff included with XFree86 4.0.1 isn't for NVIDIA cards. If you're
using the NVIDIA supplied drivers, be sure you follow their directions for
a tarball installation. This includes removing/renaming the
software-rendering libs.
modversions.h is created when you compile a kernel. Obtain, install, and
compile your kernel. I suggest 2.4.0-test10 because It Works For Me And
Many Others Very Nicely(tm). But if you're too chicken-shit to use a test
kernel then stick with the 2.2 series. Like I said, compile a kernel. It
puts hair on your chest. Once you do this, go back and
recompile/reinstall the NVIDIA kernel driver. EMail the list back if all
this doesn't work.
