Have you guys looked at the nvidia site? They have 'drivers' (i.e., |
| 35 |
kernel modules) for their motherboard chipsets as well as their video |
| 36 |
cards. Perhaps that's what you both need. I know that nvidia-kernel and |
| 37 |
nvidia-glx exist in Portage for the video cards, but that's not of much |
| 38 |
use if your kernel doesn't have the ability to talk to the mobo in the |
| 39 |
first place (and we do know that an nForce board does speak its own |
| 40 |
language). |
