OK... Newbie gives up and needs a little help... Dell Inspiron 8200 with Nvidia GEForce 440 GO...
Title: Message
OK... I give up
trying this without a little help...
I'm trying to get
Debian Linux (woody...2.4.18) onto my Dell Inspiron 8200 with the NVidia GE
Force 440 Go video card (64 MB) of memory.
I have run through
the installation a couple of times (each time the installation boot recognized
my network card but "lost" any networking when the actual boot came up... my
last install it worked) to get the network card operating.
I cannot get the
Nvidia to work at all in X... I've downloaded NVidia's drivers (the two packages
from their site) and tried making them... the "GLX" make works fine, but the
"Kernel" package continually gives me errors about a missing header file... but
I can find the header file in the location I specify, so something else is not
quite kosher.
I tried the drivers
included with the latest installation (Debian Woody) and had no luck there...
I'm getting frustrated. Maybe I need some encouragement, maybe there's a
suggestion that will work, maybe I need my head examined!
Any suggestions,
links, or anything would be appreciated...
Thank you!
8D
Pete
