This is all one line, in case your mail reader broke it up. You can

There are good things about this sort of service and bad things. It makes
things shorter, but it also hides the contents of the url.
Someone on the Applescript-users list demonstrated how the Applescript url
exploit works with the tinyurl site.
Thankfully I know of no such exploits that work under Linux (yet).

Quite true on all accounts.
Of course, getting what appears to be an innocent URL in an HTML based
e-mail is also subject to similar redirection, which is of course in
general how 'phishing' works.
One of the reasons to be wary of HTML e-mails.

Does this statement not seem a tad silly to
you considering they have
just released a new driver for linux that works with the 4k stack size?
If Linux wasn't on the radar, we wouldn't of even been having this

What I meant was that the download.nvidia.com is a virtual directory
that cannot be listed. Going to www.nvidia.com, you have to do quite
a bit of "door opening" before you find anything that actually leads
to being able to get the file. It is definitely NOT being
advertised as being available for us alternative os users, on the
front page in particular there is total silence.
So no, I do not call my comment silly when you have to be 2 levels
deep in some submenu to find a link that even hints of being able to
download anything. I thought it was quite appropo.

Firstly, http://www.nvidia.com/linux takes you directly there.
Secondly, it is a two-click process from the home page:
-> http://www.nvidia.com/
-> Click "Download Drivers" near top of page
-> On next page click "Linux and FreeBSD Drivers"
I don't see what's hard about that.

In which case the perfectly legitimate gripe you should have had is how
crappy and inaccessible their web page is. As a web developer I
completely agree with you. I reckon that scores about a zero on all the
accessibility guidelines out there. But be sure to bitch about the
correct thing. Their website sucks. (Well, to be fair, their information
architecture is fine. But someone, be it the graphic designer or the
interaction designer, hasn't spared one thought for accessibility.)
Their support of GNU/Linux (which is what you originally criticised) is
actually pretty good (although it would be much better if they just
open-sourced their drivers).

I think thats what I was trying to say when I said I had to open a lot
of doors and peek around the jams to see if the target was there, or
visible from there. Sort of like the tv cops, who always stick the
gun around the corner first, asking to get a hand blown off by some
nervous perp.
I wasn't thinking, or I might have tried the /linux addendum on the
url. But, sitting here thinking about it, I have to confess that if I
had tried it, and it worked, no one would have been more surprised
than I.

Valid criticism, considering the real support solution would be to
open the srcs and let one of our many enterprising coders fix it,
thereby relieving them of something they must consider a somewhat
onerous chore, with little or no thanks forthcoming when they do. I
understand that they don't own all the srcs, and therefore cannot
open them, so this is the best we're gonna get. OTOH, how many trade
secrets would be given away by at least opening the interface specs?
I'm not smart enough to answer that one, Murphy tends to listen too
carefully, looking for ways to bend a leg up and stick it in my mouth
as is.
is actually pretty good (although it would
be much better if they just open-sourced their drivers).

One possibility that nvidia gives is signing up for driver
announcements... I used to receive these announcements when I had a GF4
card , but removed my address when I changed to a ATI card..
The sign up page is at

A hell lot of biotech corporates use "Linux NVIDIA boxes" (Debian/Redhat) for
their development. The numbers are not small. Perhaps that explains.

Unforch, the second line above is an unlistable virtual directory no
matter how I approach it with mozilla. Can someone post the real
linkage please.
Gene, it looks like Kmail wrapped the second URL into two lines. You
might look into housebreaking Kmail.
Meanwhile, unwrap the URL (http://...run) into one line, feed that to
wget, and feed the ftp URL to ncftpget. Very simple.

Gene, it looks like Kmail wrapped the second URL into two lines. You
might look into housebreaking Kmail.
I did "housebreak" kmail before I clicked on the link, by shifting it
left off screen about 3 inches, and pulling the right edge out until
it wasn't wrapped.
That got me a no permission error. kmail is using konquerer. I have
moz-1.7 installed, but someone needs to show me the correct linkage
to make kmail use it, just selecting mozzila from the list doesn't
work, wrong option or something.
However, in trying to get to a part of the page that would let me
follow links onward to the file, every shortened path was an
"unlistable virtual directory"
I did eventually get it, but preparatory to trying to install it, I
put Mesa(Lib/Demos)-6.0.1 in (I think, glxinfo still claims its 4.0.3
or thereabouts). In any event glxgears is only running about 170fps,
and tuxracer's screen updates are best described as "glacial".
I'll have to rebuild by kernel to use it as I currently have fbnv or
whatever its called, built in, which won't work from previous
experiences with the nvidia driver. And I don't build dri at all
because the help says its not nvidia related. 3dfx, sis, ati,
rage/radion but not nvidia.
If someone can further clarify that for me, it would be appreciated.
Meanwhile, unwrap the URL (http://...run) into one line, feed that
to wget, and feed the ftp URL to ncftpget. Very simple.

What driver are you using?
Check in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or /etc/X11/XF86Config if you're using
FC1) that your video driver is set to 'nvidia' and not 'nv' or
'vesa'.
You should have a section that looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX (generic)"
EndSection

For me:
linux kernel -- kernel-2.6.7-1.471

To build the driver I am doing the following:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run --add-this-kernel
I will read the instructions and try again

Did you run depmod -a 2.6.whatever-you're-running after installing the
nvidia drivers?
That would be one reason it cannot find the driver.
and it sounds as if a re-run of ldconfig might be in order.

Anbd it turned out the caps were fine. But I'm now out of the nvidia
business, that pny built GForce2-mx200 32 megger developed memory
smallpox of something, and the AGP slot is now occupied by a Radeon
9200 SE 128 megger, so I'll no doubt have questions about optimizing
that puppy. It doesn't seem to be as fast as the gforce2 was at full
screen switching. But that could be subjective.

I've noticed that after each time I build a new kernel I have to re-run
the nvidia install script and rebuild the nvidia module. I've even
noticed this on the exact same version of the kernel, I just recompiled
the kernel to add/remove features.
Try re-running your nvidia installer script.
Best,
Steve

Okay, I have performed your recommendations and still it does not work:

It's a quick compile ( as its only a bridge ), one thing I though of
was setting up a simple init.d process that kicks in before the
graphical boot to recompile that bridge whenever the machine starts.
It would be better to check if the kernel files are newer than your
nvidia bridge module before calling gcc...

Here's what I have in my rc.local:
modprobe -q nvidia ||
(cd /root/NVIDIA*/usr/src/nv && make clean && make install)
With the NVidia package uncompressed in /root:
cd /root && sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run -x
