I asked on IRC how to do it, got told to edit the initab file. So i have
managed to update my nvidia driver files no problem. UT2004 works fine
:) i had to increase the partition size of my linux boot tho because
ut2004 crashed. And i've seen them enough times in the past to know it
was probably a hdd issue. ITs been running perfectly since. Another
problem i now have though is, my monitor's brightness control is broken
i believe, so in windows i boost the Gamma to bypass this. but i havent
found a way to do this in Red Hat yet. UT2004 is fine cause it has built
in Gamma correction, but UT doesnt, so its very dark! :( is there an OGL
update that can correct this? or a way to boost my Gamma in Red Hat?
Thanks, Hardw1re (Pete)
