Just to say thanks again for your help - got 2.6.11.7 going everywhere without hitches. Of course I just called the kernels 2.6.11.7 everywhere so one version of the nvidia module fitted all. I also stuck it on a Dell laptop I've got - a Latitude 100L - and at last I've got ACPI working so I can see the battery level before it dies. Maybe our "visitor" did us a favour.
