Hi ! To get the newest NVidia-packages installed and built, you can follow these steps:1. delete all /usr/src/modules/nv* 2. delete /usr/src/nvidia-source*.tgz 3. delete all formerly built packages (i.e. nvidia-kernel-bla***.deb) 4. deinstall nvidia-source and reinstall the new nvidia-source5. start module-assistant and choose nvidia-kernel and let it build and install 6. apt-get update, apt-get upgrade let you now install the newest package nvidia-glx7. update all xserver-xorg* packages. 8. Have fun ! The latest version (167.07) is running stable ! Good luck ! Hans-J. Ullrich
That didn't work for me - I got every thing compiled and installed - verified that the nvidia driver was loaded, but xorg could not see it and errors out.
I think it is a version thing - or something to do with AMD64. If someone has this working under lenny and could list the following: * kernel version running * versions of all the nvidia packages * version of xorg This way I'm comparing apples to apples. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Karl Schmidt EMail Karl@xtronics.com Transtronics, Inc.
