The debian way is to use module-assistant m-a prepare m-a a-i nvidia The kernel in lenny changed recently to 2.6.21. I had problems building the nvidia module because of paravirt_ops being a GPL-only export in that kernel (it's not in kernel 2.6.22 now in experimental) on the i386 box (no problem on amd64) You may need to build a custom kernel with paravirt_ops disabled to build the nvidia module in testing ATM. > The installer (on the nvidia run file) says also that it was writing to an > installer log and I don't see where that log is, which of course would > probably help me getting the system back to a state where I can use the > accelerated features of my card. IIRC it's at /var/log/nvidia-installer.log (roughly, it's been a while). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
