i and a few others have answered this question 3 or 4 times in the past week or so... for future reference it really helps to search through the mail archive for your question before asking it, but since i still have the answer grepped from my outbox, here's the "debian way": - roll your own kernel with make-kpkg, or at least install the kernel-headers package for your kernel version # cd /usr/src/linux && make-kpkg binary (then look for debs in /usr/src, or) # apt-get install kernel-headers-2.x.x - install the following packages: # apt-get install nvidia-glx-src nvidia-kernel-src - extract the nvidia module source # cd /usr/src && tar xvfz nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz - build the kernel module for the nvidia card # cd /usr/src/linux && make-kpkg modules_image - then in /usr/src you should have a .deb package for nvidia kernel # cd /usr/src && dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.x.x_rev_i386.deb - then install the glx stuff # cd /usr/src/nvidia-glx_version && dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc - go back to /usr/src, and install everything that starts with nvidia-glx and ends with .deb - finally, reconfigure X, which i strongly recommend that you do with debconf # dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 when you finally reconfigure your X server, there will be a new module called nvidia, which you'll want to select. hth, good luck sean On Thu, Nov 28, 2002 at 01:33:59PM +0100, Peterka wrote: > > Hi! > I have a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 64 Mb vga card, and i can't run > any gui.
