Are you running Debian or Ubuntu? This is a Debian forum. If you're running Debian and want to compile a Debian kernel, I might suggest http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm. However, I have no experience with the nvidia proprietary drivers. If you run into trouble with them, I can't help you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
