hi to make nvidia card working with kernel 2.6.0-testX, you need to patch the nvidia driver source so, you need a patch corresponding on the version of your driver : http://www.minion.de/nvidia.html note that the last nvidia driver (4496) works well for me step-by-step process : download the nvidia driver and the patch, then run : ./NVIDIA****.run --extract-only cd NVIDIA***/usr/src/nv patch -p1 < ../../../../NVIDIA_kernel***-2.5.diff make that-s all (I hope) about /dev/ttySX => I have the same problem ;) about /dev/psaux => I had the same problem to solve it, you need to reconfigure your kernel, and make sure you have set the options : INPUT_MOUSEDEV INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX in the section "Input device support" good luck ------------------------------------------------------------- NetCourrier, votre bureau virtuel sur Internet : Mail, Agenda, Clubs, Toolbar...
