Re: NVidia source compiling problems
The following steps works for me smoothly and perhaps is useful to you.
download nvidia-glx-src_1.0.4191-1_i386.deb and
nvidia-kernel-src_1.0.4191-2_i386.deb from unstable
<command>$ sudo dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-src_1.0.4191-2_i386.deb</command>
<command>$ sudo dpkg -i nvidia-glx-src_1.0.4191-1_i386.deb</command>
<command>$ sudo su</command>
<command># apt-get install debhelper modutils kernel-package libncurses5-dev</command>
<command># apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18</command>
<command># vi /etc/kernel-pkg.conf</command>
<command># cd /usr/src</command>
<command># tar --bzip2 -xvf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2</command>
<command># tar zxvf nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz</command>
<command># cd kernel-source-2.4.18</command>
<command># cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 ./.config</command>
<command># make menuconfig</command>
Remove the Frame Buffer option which is conflict to the Nvidia driver.
Add loop back device for lvm initrd creation.
<command># make-kpkg clean</command>
<command># make-kpkg --append_to_version -nvidia kernel_image modules_image</command>
<command># cd ..</command>
<command># dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18-nvidia_1.0_i386.deb </command>
<command># dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.4.18-nvidia_1.0.4191-2+1.0_i386.deb</command>
<command># cd nvidia-glx-1.0.4191</command>
<command># dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc</command>
<command># cd ..</command>
<command># apt-get install xlibmesa-dev</command>
<command># dpkg -i nvidia-glx_1.0.4191-1_i386.deb</command>
<command># dpkg -i nvidia-glx-dev_1.0.4191-1_i386.deb</command>
<command># cd /etc/X11</command>
<command># cp XF86Config-4 XF86Config-4.2003.1.6</command>
<command># vi XF86Config-4</command>

If you have Athlon processor, it's better to use 2.4.20 kernel from
unstable or you need patch for kernel 2.4.18 and below. If your mainboard
is VIA chipset you should set the AGP value between 0xEA to 0xEE from
BIOS. These two points are written in the manual of the NVIDIA driver.
Good luck,
Qian
