nvidia driver compiling problem

[Steve Hargreaves <Steve@hargreavess.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi there,

OK - after getting most of my H/W working with debian - the last two 
exceptions are the dedicated nvidia driver for my card, and the  modem 
drivers for my Intel 536EP modem.

I suspect I may never get the modem working, so I'll concentrate on the gfx 
card ATM.

I have installed the 2.4.24 kernel for i386 from www.backports.org (I failed 
miserably trying to compile my own kernel), and since the nvidia kernel 
module needs the kernel sources to compile, I downloaded and installed the 
accompanying source package. So far so good.

The nvidia kernel module compiles fine, but when I try and use it I get the 
following error message:-

Using /lib/modules/2.4.24-1-386/kernel/drivers/video/nv
/lib/modules/2.4.24-1-386/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o
        /lib/modules/2.4.24-1-386/kernel/drivers/video/
24
        while this kernel is version 2.4.24-1-386.

Now I know why the error occurs (the source package won't have the 1-386 bit 
in the version information) - but I don't know how to fix it so that I get a 
correct version of nvidia.o - any help would be appreciated.

This is getting to be a pain - I've done nothing but download stuff for 2 
days over a 56k dial up connection - it'd be nice if I could get the right 
stuff first time :o(

Thanks


Steve.
