Well I have no idea about the P4 systems. I don't consider them an
option worth looking at.
But what should work is something like this:
(assuming xfree86 is installed and not x.org)
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source module-assistant kernel-headers-`uname -r`
m-a -t prepare nvidia
m-a -t build nvidia
m-a -t install nvidia
apt-get -f install
apt-get install nvidia-glx
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (select nvidia as driver, rather than
nv).A
echo "nvidia" >> /etc/modules
modprobe nvidida
Attempt to run X and see what happens.
