make is (was) installed.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run --kernel-name=2.4.18-k7, did not
work.
So, I obtained NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run from nvidia.com, and ran as:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4363.run --kernel-name=2.4.18-k7, and this worked
(seemingly).
I set my X driver to be nvidia (as indicated) but could not startx.
I tried: # modprobe nvidia and came up with a list of "unresolved
symbols".
I taken the liberty of attaching both the nvidia-installer.log, as well as
the output of modprobe nvidia to this message.
Please tell me what to attempt next.
Thanks,

yet, # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run would not work.
