Hi, I''ve been trying to get lirc to work and to do that I had to compile my own kernel. When I booted up using the newly built 2.4.22 kernel, I got an error from X.


XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2)
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-3bigmem i686 [ELF]

I''ve tried STFW but I''ve come up with nothing. Anyone seen this before? Thanks.

I'm not sure but I guess you'll have to reinstall your nvidia drivers.
If I remember good, I had to do it too when I compiled my custom 2.4.20 kernel.
