It'll take some digging through: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 but it should have patch(es) someplace in there. nVidia are no good at releasing something official for such things, but the dev(s) responsible for the linux drivers there are pretty good at posting a patch to get them working in the meantime. I just wish they had a sticky with the latest applicable patches. Inevitably I end up posting only to be 'told off' and pointed to the non-obvious thread that already has the patch. -Ath -- - Athanasius = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / http://www.miggy.org/ Finger athan(at)fysh.org for PGP key "And it's me who is my enemy.
