Re: nvidia building from source (2.6.15)
Len,
Thanks for the reply. Could you be little more verbose on what
dpkg-source -x nvidia*dsc
means !? Where do I get the nvidia*dsc file(s) ? Does
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b
automatically try to get all the build-dependencies ?
Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
