nvidia kernel module and GLX

[Matthew Sackman <matthew@sackman.co.uk>]

Dear all!

I apologise in advance for my lack of any real knowledge here,
and am sorry if this has been covered before and/or is annoying
people, but...!

I've installed XFree 4v26 and it seemed ok - no error messages etc;
I use an Nvidia TNT2 M64 card, and got the kernel module and the 
GLX files from NVidia.

However, both refused to compile. I figured that I needed 
/usr/src/linux to point to /usr/src/kernel-source... but that didn't
solve it either. I've tried downloading the rpms and using alien,
and have scratched my head a lot!

Basically, XFree starts, but does not load any window manager, plus,
when I kill the server, the consoles have darkened, and the entire
colour set seems to have altered - the blues of mutt are now green.
An XFree86 -configure exits with:

XFree86 Version 4.0.1d / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 27 October 2000
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
        than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
        problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Now it may be that I've messed things up by trying to install the NVidia
modules, but I've followed the instructions to the letter and simply have no
idea why things have not gone to plan.

Can anyone help (without telling me to *-off and go back to 3.3.6)?

Yours,

Matthew
