First off, I realy don't know that much. Many guy's on this forum know MUCH more than me.
I will have to go soon. (I'm going to see LOTR

) Do what I sugested and we will see from there. I hope to be back on this forum tomorow.
Mean while, if you need help there are plenty of people on this forum, and you can also search for past threads. Maby someone has had the same problem.
Well, maby I will speak to you tomorow. Lets hope you solved the problem by then. I also mailed you. If you can give me you mail adress, I could post you my configuration file. But it realy shoulden't be nesisary as it say's in the nvidia readme how to edit you config file.
Good luck.

What this means is that the nvidia drivers should go in "/usr/x11r6/lib/modules/drivers" but there is no such directory it does not understand where to put the drivers. Try doing this "locate fbdev_drv.o" and see what directory comes up. Put you nvidia driver in there. If it does not work, maby someone else can help you better.

Tou don't need NVDIA's drivers to get X working with your card - XFree86 supports it, just not with 3D acceleration. I'd concentrate on getting X working first (even in standard VGA mode) before you start worrying about the drivers.

That's very wierd. I never experianced such a thing. Are you sure you are root? Do "whoami" and see what pops up.
Also, the other guy is indeed right, you don realy need the nvidia drivers to get x working. But I figured that since you are playing around with your X configuration, you could might as well install the right drivers right away.

To get back to your question about IRC programs, there is a nice overview of what's available at: http://www.misfit.hpg.ig.com.br/irc-clients.html
