You need to compile and install by hand. Also, since the X base has now moved to /usr/local exepct some problems because it will try to install to /usr/X11R6. I wonder if it's possible for someone to create a nvidia-driver-beta and track this beta driver. Most of this new cards will only work with this driver! It's working fine now! :) Thanks Regards, -- Alexandre Vieira - nullpt@gmail.com
