Debian Linux and a GeForce 4 Ti4200
Hi,
1. I've installed Debian Linux sarge (tried also with woody). 2. Downloaded NVidia-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run 3. sh NV* 4. It tells me it can't downloaded precompiled kernel interface so tells me to install my kernel source 5. I apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.26 6. I sh NVidia-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.26/ 7. It complains that "If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel..." uname says Linux mymachine 2.4.26-1-386 #2 Sat May 1 ... How do I get my GeForce 4 to run? I can't use GIMP etc because it won't give me a high enough resolution without proper drivers. |

I just kept trying different versions of the drivers until I got one that would
install. On Tue, 10 Aug 2004 19:07:04 +1000, Richard Cavell wrote: Hi, 1. I've installed Debian Linux sarge (tried also with woody). 2. Downloaded NVidia-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run 3. sh NV* 4.

Make sure there is a symlink pointing to the correct place for /usr/src/linux ie... Let's say your kernel source is in /usr/src/2.4.26-1-386 #cd /usr/src #ln -s 2.4.26-1-386/ linux if you do an ls you should now have a symlink like this linux - 2.4.26-1-386 Try your nvidia install again ensuring you drop back to single user mode (init 3) before doing so. -- Jafar Calley -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- d+ s-:+ a C++++ L++ E--- W++ N++ w-- PE- t* 5++ R+ !tv D+ G e* h---- x? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ Registered Linux User #359623 http://fatcatftp.homelinux.org |
