Re: NVdriver problems
On Fri, 16 Mar 2001 20:27:27 -0600, Zac Epkes whispered to the router:
!!NO!!! the NVdriver does not work with 2.4.x kernels
!! Use XFree 4.0.x [preferable 2]
i'm sorry, yes it does.
i'm running 2.4.1, nvidia .96 works just great. just download from
kernel.org, and make sure it's in /usr/src/linux shouldn't have a
problem with them.
but he says he's using 2.2.19presomthing anyhow, so why mention the 2.4
kernels?
!!
!! u MUST have the kernel source and headers in /usr/src/
!! leave the kernel header folder alone... i would rename the
kernel-source*
!! folder to linux/ and then build the GLX package then the NVIDIA_kernel
!! package...
!!
!! Hope this helps
