Mere signs though. I continue being told it's an invalid format: FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.1/kernel/drivers/video/ nvidia.ko): Invalid module format So ... i'm out of ideas ... i don't get why it ain't doing for me what it is doing for everyone else. I am wondering IF something screwed up when i upgraded Slackware 9.1 from 9.0 ... and in the interest of testing that theory might do a rm -f / later and start from scratch. I haven't decided if 2.6 is worth that much yet though. -- with kind regards, Christian Unger "You don't need eyes to see, you need vision" (Faithless - Reverence) Mobile: 0402 268904 Internet: http://naiv.sourceforge.net NAIV Status: Stable Testing Development 0.2.3r2 0.3.0 0.3.1 - File Handling "May there be mercy on man and machine for their sins" (Animatrix) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
