roll your own kernel with make-kpkg, or at least install the kernel-headers package for your kernel version # cd /usr/src/linux && make-kpkg binary (then look for debs in /usr/src, or) # apt-get install kernel-headers-2.x.x
- install the following packages: # apt-get install nvidia-glx-src nvidia-kernel-src - extract the nvidia module source # cd /usr/src && tar xvfz nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz - build the kernel module for the nvidia card # cd /usr/src/linux && make-kpkg modules_image - then in /usr/src you should have a .deb package for nvidia kernel # cd /usr/src && dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.x.x_rev_i386.deb - then install the glx stuff # cd /usr/src/nvidia-glx_version && dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc - go back to /usr/src, and install everything that starts with nvidia-glx and ends with .deb - finally, reconfigure X, which i strongly recommend that you do with debconf # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 when you finally reconfigure your X server, there will be a new module called nvidia, which you'll want to select." TNX for the info but when I try to install the drivers, my installation stops when trying to install the kernel-headers. How could I add a special location to APT's source list (say a directory on a harddisk)? Zee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
