the /proc/driver/nvidia interface is really useful for finding

The only way I know to install the drivers is from Wilson's MythTV

This one drove me crazy. Turned out to be the nVidia driver version I
<br>
was running. I think that your version is the version that gave me
<br>
problems. Try the oldest driver available for your version kernel.

Good luck!
