NVIDIA dirvers and kernel image and souce
I have been trying to increase my screen resolution to
to 1280x1024. After trying some of the remedies posted with no luck, I upgraded the kernel image and kernel source and then installed Debian's NVIDIA driver tar ball. I noticed that some of the posts mention that in /usr/src the source has to be linked to linux, but I am not sure what needs removed and linked. If someone can assist me, I would appreciate it. Below is some info. Just in case I have to recompile the kernel, does anyone know of a good how-to link to install the kernel and source?

cd /usr/src Code:
apt-get install nvidia-glx Sixth: Code:
chmod 755 Nvidia-linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run Code:
sh Nvidia-linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run Code:
cd /etc/X11 Code:
"1280x1024" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" press esc then hit :wq to write and quit Then reboot and you should be up and going. |
