I have nvidia's "proprietary" dirver 96.43.01 running well on my Debian Sid. There is a bug in the opengl which will show up, for example, rotating a piece in a jigsaw puzzle program, where areas near the cursor are incorrectly painted. Their driver is up to version .05 so I tried to install.
Their .run complained about the gcc version. I noticed the kernel-compiled .ko's will show a 4.1.3. Now I compiled that kernel much more recently than that!! Going ahead with the current 4.3.2!! will produce and un-modprobable nvidia.ko. No --force option will avail. Their instructions say set a CC environment variable. Anything I try will then produce a complain that this "compiler" cannot produce execs. I tried 4.1.3, gcc4.1.3, gcc-4.1.3 and such variations of the current version to no avail. Since the kernel compile chose this older version, recompiling clean will probably not help. What do I do to kludge this (I have sometimes succeeded in editing vermagic stuff if the result had exactly the same length but the gcc is not in this string.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
