Error : nvidia drivers & linux
Hola buenas,
Estoy intentando que el servicio al cliente de Nvidia me ayude a instalar
los drivers nvnet para mi ASUS A7N8X y no consigo que me ayuden. Puede ser
que yo este haciendo algo mal o puede ser que con el kernel 2.4.18 no rule
ni de coña. Puede alguien echarle un vistazo a esta historia y poner algo de
luz en la oscuridad.
Saludos y gracias a todos.

Asunto: RE: 3rd reminder - Error : nvidia drivers & linux
Hi Allen,
Allen kindly note that my distro install the kernel headers in :
/usr/src/kernel-headers-x.x.x the please confirm if I have to make a
symbolic link fm that directori to /usr/include/linux in order to be able to
re-compile the driver.
Allen, are there any possibility for issuing a driver as the one you have
for the graphic cards (.run) ... I haven't any problem for installing it.
Thks for your good support. Pls reply within today in order to check this
week end.
Brgds
Miguel

Asunto: RE: 3rd reminder - Error : nvidia drivers & linux
Hi Miguel, can you check if you have the kernel headers installed in
/usr/include/linux ? These should be part of the "kernel development"
package that came with your distro, and they're needed to build kernel
modules.
