Hi Guillaume et all,
first of all thank you very much for answering my email. As you said, i
installed the linux headers for my version (its the "2.4.27-2-386").
After that the driver for nvidia was installed successfully!
But i can see that my problem is more complex than that. I thought that
after installing the new drivers i could have the xserver running,
instead of that i get the following message:

hi all,
I have a SONY-VAIO VGN-FS315S laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce 6400 card.
I installed on it the latest distribution of Debian but i dont have
any graphical interface because of a problem with Xfree.
i assumed that the problem has to do with the drivers that debian uses
and instead of nv i may need to use nvidia driver. For this reason i
downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86-2.0-7182-pkg1.run installer from NVIDIA in
order to install it and fix the problem. But i cannot install this
driver because a file named version.h is missing from the directory
/usr/src/linux/include/linux, according to the error message i get.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Do i need to install the
nvidia driver in order to solve it or is it something else? If the
problem can be fixed simple by using this driver, how can i make the
installer work? Do i need to compile the kernel again? Do i need some
extra packages or headers?
I m new to linux so please give me real simple instructions. Thank you
very much in advance,
dionysis
Hi
You need the kernel headers corresponding to your installed kernel for
the Nvidia driver to compile their driver.
Regards
Guillaume
