[PlanetCCRMA] Caught in mid-upgrade- little help?

    I've recently realized just how much more powerful the tools are
here than FreshRpms. (The alsa, in particular is far more complete and
completely working.)

    On my Redhat 9 machine, I apt-getted "planetccrma-core" and got the
2.4.20-4.ll.acpi kernel and it's associated Alsa component loaded, and
they're glorious. 

    Just one problem:  I'm running an NVidia card, and for a week now
I've been staying out of 3D...just in time to keep me from enjoying the
simply fabulous "Enemy Territory" game that just came out, FREE, for
Linux.  And the stress level I'm seeing here could be much relieved if I
could just get back into 3D and get shooting away.

    The crux of the problem seems to be that the NVidia stuff is
compiled with one version of GCC, and the running kernel (above) is done
with another.

    Surely there's someone on this list that has an Nvidia card and got
it to work (completely) with the PlanetCCRMA kernel?
