Hi, You could try dpkg-reconfigure-plow xserver-xfree86 And select frame buffer disabled. With a similar (to yours) nvidia chip that worked for me. I can't get my new nvidia to work at all though. Good luck. --- David R Hovland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How do you get xwindows to start in Debi

Hi, Still stuck with getting the nvidia driver loaded. I have the old video card re-installed-which is how I could use debian gui. SuSE and Knoppix both recognized this card without a hitch. So why can't I get it to work in Debian? --- John Yurcik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am

Thanks for all the suggestions, maybe with the exception of sticking my head in the sand, I don't receive a mere dozen of this...crap, its at least 40 sometimes double that.

1. Download and install the kernel-source package that corresponds to the kernel version you're running. 2. Unbzip the bzip file that appears in /usr/src (something like kernel-source-2.4.whatever.tar.bz2). 3. make a symbolic link to the resulting directory called /usr/src/linux (eg ln -s /usr/s

Nvidia video card not recognized

2003-10-22 Thread John Yurcik
Hello, I believe that the headers and kernel are the same yet the nvidia driver installer doesn't see it that way. The error message from the installer(which is posted in this thread basically says the headers are not correct for the kernel) Is there anything I can do to get this card recognized?

Hi, I have installed kernel headers (athlon 990mhz running debian stable) Kernel-headers 2.4.18-1-k7 are in the /include/ directory. Attempting to load the Nvidia drivers from the shell command, 'Sh NVIDIA-Linux-X86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run' I get the message: "Unable to find the kernel header files for
