installing nvidia drivers - kernel-headers problem
Hi
I would like to install the nvidia drivers on my laptop. I found a
HOWTO that looks very nice on
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html
Before starting with the installation I wanted to install all required
packages to see if everything would go as easy as it is described in
this HOWTO.
Installing module-assistant and nvidia-kernel-common went fine but I
didn't perform the 'module-assistant auto-install nvidia' step yet.
According to the HOWTO I will also need the package
'kernel-headers-$KVERS where $KVERS is the output from `uname -r`.
On my laptop uname -r gives: 2.6.6-1-386 but there is no package
'kernel-headers-2.6.6-1-386'. So I looked at the output of apt-cache
search kernel-headers and noticed a package 'kernel-headers-2.6-386'.
Will this package suffice?
According to /proc/cpuinfo the laptop has a "Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R)
4 CPU 3.06GHz" does this mean I should opt for the package
'kernel-headers-2.6-686' in stead? Or does this mean I should also get
the 686-kernel first?
TIA
Bram
