You surely refer to the official nvidia driver. Why not just try to
install the precompiled nvidia module provided in non-free. I am
runing that driver without any problems so far.
I hope you mean the NFORCE one - my problem is getting onto the 'net;
graphic fanciness is way down on my list. Last time I did that it
didn't work, but it is worth trying again.
Another option IMHO would be simply to build your kernel with a new gcc.
Urm. Yes, in fact I was trying that without much success. It still
leaves me with the question of just WHAT 'gcc' I can put up that doesn't
have a piece missing.
Can't someone point out what is broken that critical module(s) are
unavailable from at least two "current" compiler package-sets?
And, OBTW, Alexander, please -- what version of the kernel are you running?
Thanks,
