Hi all,Someone sent me an off-list e-mail about beta tesing a multimedia kernel... Unfortunately, I lost that e-mail when i was messing around with my mail server settings (duh!)... Could whoever it was please resend? :)
Thanks James James Titcumb wrote:
It appears that it is a mistake on my part... after checking Jen's reply carefully, I found out that somewhere between when I first started trying to install the nvidia drivers and now... my kernel version had changed... previously, I had the correct headers (kernel-headers-2.6.8-10-amd64-k8), and I upgraded kernel to 2.6.10-9-amd64-k8.Stupid mistake, I know. I have just logged in, and the nvidia drivers work fine... I can finally use my second monitor :)Thanks very much for both your help James David Hartveld wrote:James Titcumb schreef:Make sure you have loaded the nvidia kernel module by hand (i.e. "# modprobe nvidia", or put it in /etc/modules), it won't load automatically.Hi Jens,You seem to know a bit about the nVidia support. I have followed instructions as you said, and all seemed to go well, but XFree86.0.log says it can't load the module. Please see the logfile attatched.(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
