Re: nvidia drivers not working in linux-2.6.14

[Dean Hamstead <dean@bong.com.au>]

did you apply all the patches from the nvidia support forums?

youll need to
apt-get source nvidia-graphics-drviers
(from rdonald's stuff)
build them and install
then go to /usr/src/ and unpack the nvidia-kernel-souce
cd into the directory
then grab all the patches and patch with 'patch -p1 patch.patch'
re tar all that back to the original file name
then run module-assistant etc

there may be a way to tell module-assistant not to untar your
file but anyway.
