excerpt from above
1) config.h? We don’t need no stinking config.h

Yeah, it’s not there. Lots of drivers and tools won’t compile properly even
with kernel-devel installed. Just grab a copy of config.h from a recent
kernel and drop it into /lib/modules/[KERNEL REV]/build/include/linux.

2) System beep is painful, at least on this system.

I’m still unsure as to what’s happening here. I just disabled it.

3) Cisco VPN Client 4.8 won’t build

This is the config.h problem. See above.

4) nVidia drivers won’t build

Yep, config.h problem. See above. The official nVidia drivers are
significantly better than the provided xorg ’nv’ driver. Well worth the
effort. Also, ensure that xorg-x11-server-sdk is installed before
installing the nVidia drivers. I used the x86-1.0-8776 rev without problem.

A couple of days ago I was told that config.h is no longer required. Delete
the line (presumably you could comment it out?) in the makefile, and
compiling should continue. That's what I was told, anyway :-)
I tried that on the webcam module builder and it blew up, REAL GOOD! I'm
gonna try that link thing. Ric
