kernel 2.6.3--bk8 and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336 video driver from Nvidia
Hello!
I tried to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336 video driver from Nvidia on my Slackware 9.1 distro with kernel 2.6.3--bk8. At compilig the driver I got error: ***************************************** nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Sat Mar 6 13:05:21 2004 option status: license pre-accepted : false update : false force update : false expert : false uninstall : false driver info : false no precompiled interface: false no ncurses color : false query latest driver ver : false OpenGL header files : false no questions : false silent : false XFree86 install prefix : /usr/X11R6 OpenGL install prefix : /usr Installer install prefix: /usr kernel source path : (not specified) kernel install path : (not specified) proc mount point : /proc ui : (not specified) tmpdir : /tmp Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted. -> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0- 5336).

You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at nvidia. ***************************************** What is wrong? Is there any chance to compile and instal the driver. Please help. The driver compiles and works on my current working kernel 2.4.23-pre6. Zdenko from Slovenia |
get the 2.6 series specific drivers from www.nvidia.com....or try patched older drivers from www.minion.de

Thank, you!
I solved the problem. I eliminated MSR from compiling (none: in or module). for the kernel version: I use Philips SAA7134 based TV card, for which the kernel patch for that particular subversion was available. (At the end I finished with that subversion with dead TV card - module returned i2c errors). In the feature I'll stick with more reliable versions. k 2.6.x was for curiosity, else I use 2.4.23 kernel. Regards! Zdenko p.s.: Regarding Nvidia video driver compiling/installing: I had troubles with executable. So I used -x and unpack it. After "make install" all was completed without a single error! |
