Ok, I got it to work. I had to run "rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm" on the GLX package, as well as the kernel. It is working now. Thanks!

I know I have to edit my XF86Config-4, and that the module should load automatically. But lsmod doesn't show the kernel driver loaded. I ran 'rpm -bb *.spec' and then installed the .rpm it made. I also ran the command (according to Nvidia's documentation): rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm I suspect "rpm --rebuild *.src.rpm" is the same as "rpm -bb *.spec" after you install the .src.rpm, right? Either way, I used the .rpm that it compiled. I installed that rpm, and get several "unresolved symbol" errors, but then reports "Nvdriver installed successfully", as such: depmod: **Unresolved symblos in /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver depmod: **Unresolved symblos in /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver: unresolved symbol create_proc_entry_Ref936a06 /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver: unresolved symbol mem_map_R1f41f465 #...it then lists a buch of similar entries with different "unresolved symbols", about 10 more, then: /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/drivers/video/Nvdriver failed #Then it goes on to repeat all the "unresolved symbol" errors for the directory /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/ #Then it fails to insmod the driver from /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver #Then the last error is just plainly: /lib/modules/2.4.9-13/kernel/video/Nvdriver: insmod Nvdriver failed. Nvdriver installed successfully I can then query the rpm database, and it shows the kernel package installed. Any thoughts? I'm looking through Nvidia's discussion group, and Dell's groups completely ignored my post (after searching through their forums and coming up empty). Thanks in advance.

You ran rpm -bb *.spec on the source rpm's spec file right? That compiled into regulare rpms and you install those? When installing the nvidia_kernel rpm, it automatically loads you nvidia module. However, you'll need to update your XF86Config-4 file from "driver nv" to "driver "nvidia". -eric ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vinny Valdez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I don't know if you purchased a laptop yet, but I have a Dell 8100 > with a GeForce2-go in it.
