That would make sense if I'd been using 2.4.19, but my existing working
kernel is 2.4.18...
In any case I've scrapped all of that. :) I can't remember *how* I got the
source I was working with before, so I carefully removed everything
obvious from (I don't think this will break 2.4.18 as I didn't touch any
of the drivers from /lib/modules/2.4.18):
/usr/src
/lib/modules/2.4.20/(etc)/drivers/video
- dselect to check which versions were installed for
nvidia-kernel-src, nvidia-glx-src
- carefully removed any obivous tar/gzip files with that number
- apt-get remove existing -kernel-src and -glx-src packages
Then started from scratch with:
- apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src
- apt-get install nvidia-glx-src
(read the documentation)
- apt-get install xlibmesa3-glu (this is what was missing before
and resulting in symbols not found)
- cd /usr/src
- gunzip nvidia-kernel-src
- untar nvidia-kernel-src (puts files correctly into
/usr/src/modules)
- cd /usr/src/linux
- make-kpkg modules_image
(drink coffee, eat butter tarts and watch curling while everything
flashes by)
- cd /usr/src
- dpkg -i nvidia-kernel<version>.deb
- lsmod to check for loaded modules: nvidia is loaded. This is a
*different* name than what I used to use (NVdriver).
Somewhere there's going to be a config file that I need to change from
NVdriver to nvidia. AND I can't figure out where the .deb is for the
nvidia-glx-src (there's a directory in /usr/src but nothing obvious in it).
