After more searching I found this post which has a script that creates the nvidia /dev entries. It appears for some reason that udev is not doing it. I'm using udev 068-r1 which is latest stable and changelog does not mention any nvidia fixes in newer versions. A search for udev+nvidia turned up others with the trouble. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-375466.html On Mon, 3 Oct 2005, Brett I.
