If you pay attention to that part, it is an echo statement, and it is
not echoed, thus not the solution to the problem. The files that it
tests for do exist in /usr/src/linux/include (and I always run make
oldconfig when building a new kernel). I just saw your thread though,
and it does seem pretty similar. I wonder if it's a problem with the
new kernel, or if the way to configure the things that the drivers need
has changed. Anybody else have a clue?

according to the nvidia site version 71.86.01 is the lastest TNT2
drivers have tried these they are in the portage tree

Thanks for the heads up! I had from a while ago blocked versions newer
than 1.0.7185 because it used to be that they wouldn't work with my
card. Apparently they have a new version scheme than they used to use,
but you are right, 71.86.01 works. Now we just have to solve Mick's
problem!
