Axel,
I feel honord to get a reply. :) Thanks for taking the time out :)
I'm no linux Noob, having been working in it for damn near 13 years
(the 0.8kernel years were fun.)
Somehow it doesn't surprise me that 2.6.17 broke everything, thanks for the
work you do with ATRPMS. I notice that some sites are just now starting to
get the nvidia drivers up to date now so actually I think you're ahead of
the game . :)
If you need someting let me know, i've got an extra computer or two I can
try to do some package builds on if that would help.

No no no, stop everything you're doing and work on MY problem!!! Wait, why
are you laughing at me and why are you telling me i'm #1 with THAT finger?
:)
Actually though I do have a question for you since i've got you here. I
notice most of the stuff on ATRPMS as far as kernel modules are built around
kernels that i've never heard of while modules for the standard stock
kernels (like 2133, etc.) don't seem to stick around for long. This is
probably a question that belongs on the ATRPMs list instead of here, but is
this because you tend to depricate kernel modules as new kernels come out
and only maintain modules for the kernels you compile and maintain or am I
just missing an area where kernel modules are that I just don't see? I sort
of expected to find a prior version of LIRC-KMDL somewhere on ATRPMS for one
of the stock kernels (i've still got 2096, 2133 and the new 2139 installed)
so I could roll back till this whole 2.6.17 thing was straightened out and
was a bit surprised when the entire module went missing for all of the stock
kernels I have installed.
Anyway, good luck to you Axel and if there's some way I can help, please let
me know.
