I made the kernel with the nvidia driver as a module and the "emerge |
| 35 |
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers" worked. However, running Xorg -configure |
| 36 |
still fails. |

|
| 38 |
. . . and I would love to use and email client that doesn't butcher |
| 39 |
threading, but I can't until I get this problem fixed. I have to do a |
| 40 |
remote login from a machine at work and use optonline's webbased client. |
| 41 |
Sorry. |
