nvidia and stock kernel
Hi,
I just installed pure64 on a new machine (the install was surprisingly
easy), but am having trouble knowing how to install the nvidia drivers
(I've never used Nvidia before). I just installed the stock kernel
(with headers and source) 2.6.10-9-amd64-k8, nvidia-kernel-source, and
nvidia-kernel-common. I was following instructions at
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html and
things were fine until I typed "debian/rules binary_modules" which
issued several problems about gcc 3.4 and finally
Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support!
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please
reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then
try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.
So, does the Nvidia driver work with the stock kernel, or do I have to
go recompile the kernel without rivafb support? And do I need to do
anything about the gcc-3.4 warnings?
Any help with getting Nvidia working would be appreciated. Thanks,
Ric
