Hello, I'm trying to install a nvidia driver on my system System is debian sarge with new kernel 2.6.8.1, XEON proc, sata disks and 1GB RAM. The video card is a nvidia quadro PCI-E series card. I downloaded the driver from nvidia, Started it with: Sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path=/home/software/kernel2.6.8.1/linux-2.6.8.1
I use 6111 all the time with 2.6.7 Works like a charm: I build my own kernel: make-kpkg --revision 1 kernel_image then I install the .deb: cd /usr/src dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.7-ruby_1_i386.deb Then I reboot to get that kernel booted. then you just run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run and away you go.
