I'm trying to get X up and running. I installed Xfree86 4.02 and am trying to get the Nvidia drivers to work. The kernel driver is giving me problems when I type 'make'. It says that insmod can't load NVdriver because it was compiled for kernel version 2.2.16 when I have version 2.2.18. I think it might have something to do with me using the ata100.i kernel. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

also, if you already have 4.01 or above of your XF86Server, then just goto Page 2
