Now I know what it was. When I was typing "./definatly-xconfig" I was
using capitalized letters and was typing "./Nvidia-Xconfig". I just keep
forgetting that Linux is case sensitive. I am a complete MS Windows
expert even with Vista but Linux is a new animal to me. One more thing I
discovered is that there are no drivers available for the latest kernel
so I just need to wait a bit. But thank you for your effort to help, I
definitely appreciate it.
