Ok. I DL'd the drivers even before i got my LM8 (power pack ed) distribution. Upon install the very first thing I did was open the archives and run the installs. All was right with the world. I've trashed and reloaded my system about 12 times (I'd rather start over after a stupid config blunder rather than debug it in blind ignorance). Now the problem... The installation is now refusing to load the kitchen sink from scratch (ok, not on topic but may be related) and I now get errors when i attempt to do the very same installation/build process that I have always done.
The errors are -
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:1:2: #error Modules should never use kernel-headers system headers,
/usr/include/linux/modversions.h:2:2: #error but headers from an appropriate kernel-source

Ok, I go to the header, comment out the errors (the contents of the file)
try again, and I get a boatload of unresolved tokens from the installation.
What gives? The config is exactly the same, the libs are all installed, the commands are no different.... Why does it not work now?

Oh, on a differing note, the RPM package that comes with the distribution originally would not install, but now it does (although the GL stuff crashes the X-Server..). I've stripped out the OS twice (down to repartitionong the drive, reformat, and re-install) but the same spit happens.
Any help out there (this quirky behavior reminds me of Win2K and all it's nasty stuff...)
