Duncan, thank you. I recopiled 2.6.26 and it worked. I tried it with |
2 |
2.6.26 earlier but it didn't work for some odd reason. Since I create a |
3 |
short cut to my recent kernel source, the invidia driver was using that |
4 |
short cut when build against 2.6.26. The symlink /usr/src/linux points |
5 |
to /usr/src/linux-2.6.27. I don't know why that was happening but it's |
6 |
working now. |

Thank you. |
