The patch to create these devices in udev is included in debian's non-free source. Perhaps you were missing the appropriate udev rules to actually create the device files. Put the following in a file (whose name ends in .rules) in /etc/udev/rules.d KERNEL="nvidia[0-9]*", NAME="%k" KERNEL="nvidiactl", NAME="%k" -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures. My key was last signed 10/14/2003. If you use GPG *please* see me about signing the key. ***** My computer can't give you viruses by email. *** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
