Im pretty new to linux... i was following the instructions on getting X to work and KDE... i installed the nvidia acceleration drivers as part of it...

now when i boot i get insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/drivers/video/riva/rivafb.o insmod failed
a WHOLE lot of times... and some stuff about IRQ parameters

I duno why.... anyone? also i have notices some major stability problems with X and KDE... probably not 100% since this started happening as i was setting X and KDE up since i was following the walkthrough here...

thanks for any ideas

You really want to stick to kernel 2.4? My advice would be to give a try to 2.6 and nvidia-kernel & nvidia-glx..

i jus want it to work, i may try 2.6 but i did do nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx... just as the install guide said...

you think 2.6 would fix the problem though?

Sorry for not giving useful input, but can you give your postings useful topics? Please change them.

No sure 2.6 will solve your matter, but it's more for the fact of recompiling your kernel. Where does it comes from? Self-made or genkernel?

i used genkernel, but i did menuconfig, selected everything i needed myself just like doing it myself.
