Thanks for the info. I'm not quite sure re the kernel headers/source (to be honest, I'm not even sure what they are) but I'll follow the site's instructions and see what comes from it!

Now you need to dl the driver from the nvidia website, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html Check your cpu type, they have 32 and 64 bit drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8178.html This is the 32 bit driver.Read the page, dl the driver, run it as root, Make sure you have kernel headers and kernel source installed properly in your system, the driver will likely compile the module for your system on the spot and install it. Follow the instructions in the README file to edit Xorg.conf or Xf86config.conf depending on your system setup. (likely Xorg) when done, reboot and you are done. Oh, you must do the install process with no X running (init 3 will do the trick) do the install and edit the xorg.conf than init 5) and there you go, warp 10.
