Hi Kai, I have just compiled this kernel with the Nvidia modules, I have a geforceII mx and got there after a bit of fiddling.

You created a .config file with make xconfig or similiar yes? I am not at my Linux box at the moment but I remember I needed another package installed, something like kpkg-dev?

You should install the debian src packages as a pair, glx and nvidia kernel. (I wouldnt try and use the source from the NVIDIA site as I dont know if this will work and will not create the necessary Dir.) On doing so the modules dir. will be created. When you run make-kpkg modules_image, this is where it looks. HTH Wayne. (Newbie)
