Re: nvidia drivers & kernel 2.4.14



I'm currently using the 2.4.15pre4 source from kernel.org, but this also
worked with 2.4.14 (also from kernel.org). All I did to get my nvidia
kernel module to work was:

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src
cd /usr/src/linux
make-kpkg modules_image

This created a /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-<kernel version>_1.0.1541 deb,
which I then installed via dpkg -i.

after that I did a depmod -a, and modprobe NVdriver

On a side note, I am not using gcc-3.0.2, but rather 2.95.4. The few
times I've tried to use the gcc-3.0 compiler to compile the kernel I was
left with very unstable kernels. So perhaps that could be part of your
problem.

Also don't forget to install the nvidia-glx package.
