    Hi all.

    I should install the NVidia driver on my SuSE 8.1 kernel 2.4.21 dflt.
    Following the NVidia HOW_TO I should install, among the others, the package
    NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-5336.rpm that has been built for 2.4.19 kernel.
    Can the difference in kernel versions prevent from a correct installation of
    the driver?
