nvidia-kernel and 2.5.2 Kernel on Mandrake 8.1
I recently downloaded and compiled/installed the newest kernel (2.5.2).
I had eveything running fine (except for a few minor things that I'm
still trying to work out) except for my NVidia drivers. With the distro
kernel, I was able to download the RPM for MDK8.1 and load it
up...change the XF86Config-4 file and WHAM!! NVidia he we are! But then
when I upgraded to the 2.5.2 kernel - no joy. So I read somewhere on
one of these postings that you couldn't run the same drivers with a
different kernel - which made sense. So I downloaded the source files
for the NVidia Kernel and GLX modules. Since then, no matter what I
try, I get the same error(s) everytime I try to compile the NVidia
kernel. I am running enlightenment OVER Gnome and there is a NOTICEABLE
difference when the NVidia driver isn't running. Can anyone please,
PLEASE help?!?!
Thanks,
Charlie
P.S.> Here's the error code that I get when I try to "make" the NVidia
Kernel......
