С слак 9.1 съм и проблема е на ядро 2.6.2 на старото ми ядро
 /2.4.22/, което още го пазя нямам такъв проблем. Видеото ми
 е fx5290 asus magic. Като пусна nvidia installer-a ми дава
следната грешка:

МОЛЯ ПОМОГНЕТЕ !!!

The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
   Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
   Then build a kernel with module support enabled.

 Ако това е вярно, компилирал си монолитно ядро и забранил
 поддръжката на модули. При това положение, няма начин да
 компилираш какъвто и да било допълнителен модул. Не
 забравяй, че инсталатора търси kernel headers в
/usr/src/linux. Това изискване спазил ли си го?

 Мерси, аз бях включил loadable module support-а, но за сорса
 в /usr/src/linux не се бях сетил, стои ми в друга дир.
Отивам да го преместя и дано се оправи.
Пак мерси и да си жив и здрав Н. Антонов!
