Re: Installing nVidia drivers?
hey!
Well what I done: downloaded a vanilla kernel from kernel.org
(matching version of your own) done a make menuconfig and never
changed *anything* and then I saved the configuration and ran make
over it and once that was done I done sh nvidiadriver.sh
--kernel-source-path /path/to/your/stock/kernel and then it found it
with no problems.
That. hopefully will sort out most of your problems.
HTH,
Tam.
