Re: make install nvidia drivers

[Ben Farrell <benfarrell@zoom.co.uk>]

you might need to compile a kernel with agp support, try running the 
following:

modprobe -v NVdriver

which should tell you what smybols running, but the output can be a bit
cyrptic.

I've got the Nvidia drivers (version 2880) working fine with a geforce GO
using the source tar.gz's from nvidia.com.

I am using kernel (2.4.7), with /usr/src/linux sym-linked to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.7

p.s. I be very intrested to know where you got debian nvidia's deb's 
from ..
