You surely refer to the official nvidia driver. Why not just try to install the precompiled nvidia module provided in non-free. I am runing that driver without any problems so far.

After five months of struggling ( I had connectivity very briefly before

kernel. I'm using kernel-image-2.4.26, and the nVidia installer reports
this was built with
gcc-3.2.
I hope you mean the NFORCE one - my problem is getting onto the 'net; graphic fanciness is way down on my list. Last time I did that it didn't work, but it is worth trying again.
Urm. Yes, in fact I was trying that without much success. It still leaves me with the question of just WHAT 'gcc' I can put up that doesn't have a piece missing.Another option IMHO would be simply to build your kernel with a new gcc.
Can't someone point out what is broken that critical module(s) are unavailable from at least two "current" compiler package-sets?
And, OBTW, Alexander, please -- what version of the kernel are you running?
