Therefore I have to compile the nvidia driver interface for each new vanilla kernel I want to use. After compiling/installing the new kernel, the "old" kernel is still running. Is it possible -- and how -- to compile/install this interface for the new kernel while the old one is still running? Would save me one reboot... Thanks a lot for any help in advance! Keep gentooing! ;) mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
