OK I added the line and then ran the installer but now I get a different error

Thanks, BC

Can't build or load nvidia video driver under 667
used an nvidia patch from http://ngc891.blogdns.net/index.php?2004/09/21/3-patched-nvidia-drivers
but still can't load the driver
errors: # dmesg nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. nvidia: Unknown symbol __VMALLOC_RESERVE nvidia: Unknown symbol __VMALLOC_RESERVE
works fine under 2.6.8-541

not sure about that patch but all I did was add
unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE = 128 << 20;
right after:
#ifdef MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR(NV_MAJOR_DEVICE_NUMBER); #endif
in the nv.c file and ran the installer. Worked perfectly fine after that. I am currently running the *-667 kernel. Are you making sure your xorg.conf file is setup properly?
