For some reason, make modules_install removes the Nvidia driver from /lib/modules/2.XX.YY/kernel/video/NVdriver So move the NVdriver module to /lib/modules/2.XX.YY/nvidia/ or something. ( and modify INSTALLDIR in the Nvidia_kernel Makefile if you want) > HOWEVER, whenever I try to play an MP3 in XMMS or view a movie in XMPS, > the computer locks up completely!

It could also cause problems (including those freezes) What sound card are you using, with what kind of driver ? Bye, Romain
