You'll need to get ahold of and install the nvidia drivers, or i _think_ moving to unstable might work, but it's better to go with the drivers So where exactly would I go to get these drivers? I know they have GNU/Linux drivers posted on NVIDIA's website, but they are packaged as RPMs - I wa

Pon works; KPPP doesn't

I suspect I need to feed the "noauth" option to KPPP, but it says this can only be done by root (whereas I could log in as root and verify this "noauth" issue to be the problem, that doesn't really solve the problem). How can I set this option, either globally for all users for all dial-up acco
