The nvidia driver doesn't refuse to build, what happens is the nvidia contol
applet has nothing in it. I have video, but no way of changing
bright/contrast/3d options etc.. I was able to get the livna package and
when I need 3d etc... I switch to that kernel. I was hoping that someone had
found a way to make the nvidia driver build completely (like the livna
package) against the ccrma kernel. I have not tried using the method you
posted above yet, but I will try it today and post back my results. 
Thanks for the help
