Glad to hear from you, Mark.

I was surprised to hear that you rebuilt the driver.  I tried to attach
the packaged (.run) driver I downloaded from Nvidia, but it was too
large to send.  Not sure which way to go at this point.  Advice would be
appreciated.


This is the name of the .run file I have: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run

If you've never built this before, you need to have the kernel headers
installed in order to rebuild the driver.  For some reason my system
can't seem to locate nvidia's web site from run level 3, so it just
builds the driver locally - works for me, ymmv.

I'm guessing that you know how to run this already - if your machine
can download the driver from nvidia, I'd use that one and not rebuild.
In fact, I probably could have just copied the driver over from my
8.1.3 modules library to the 8.1.4 one (didn't think of that one...).
