This is one point where Gentoo shines... roll new kernel, reboot and run emerge nvidia-kernel and it Just Works. Have you considered rolling your own kernel ? The config options for the current kernel should be in /proc/config.gz so you already have all the settings for 2.6.9-multimedia-686 kernel... but I am not sure of what patches they may apply. I suspect that if DeMuDi do not provide a compatible nv driver then you may have no option but to roll a new kernel and compile the nVidia source specifically for that kernel. --markc
