i'm sorry, yes it does. i'm running 2.4.1, nvidia .96 works just great. just download from kernel.org, and make sure it's in /usr/src/linux shouldn't have a problem with them. but he says he's using 2.2.19presomthing anyhow, so why mention the 2.4 kernels? !! !! u MUST have the kernel source and headers in /usr/src/ !! leave the kernel header folder alone... i would rename the kernel-source* !! folder to linux/ and then build the GLX package then the NVIDIA_kernel !! package... !! !! Hope this helps !! !! - overid3 =] !! !!
