FC2, stk16 kernel, nvidia and "no job control"

[Macklin Stanley]

Ole Jacob -

Have your tried the latest drivers from nvidia?  6111, I believe...
They work wonderfully on my desktop with a GForce 5200. You might want
to try the RPMs from the Livna Yum Repository... http://rpm.livna.org/
 Good luck!
