Re: installing the nvidia driver (nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174...)
Ignacio José a écrit :
First at all thank you for all your replies.
Finally I did proceed following the next steps:
- "m-a -t prepare"
- "m-a -k /usr/src/linux a-i nvidia"
I compiled my kernel from source and its source is located at
"/usr/src/linux". I'm using the 2.6.13.1 version.
The above instructions were completed successfully: the nvidia-kernel
package was created and also it was installed without any problem. I
run "modprobe nvidia" to make a test and it seems to work. Later I
modified the "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" file:
- I did comment the "GLCore" and "dri" lines
- I change the driver to "nvidia"
But... when the "gdm" tries to run it throws an error. Into the XFree
log file i found the following lines:
(EE): Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE): No drivers availabe
What is happening? It sounds strange because i can load the module
running modprobe... :-(
Now i'm writing from a i386 Debian Sid and the XF86Config-4 files is
exactly equal to the file which i'm using in the amd64 version.
Thanks in advance...
here is mine :
