Nvidia geforce 2 legacy drivers problem
 

hey i am rtying to install a legacy driver
fora geforce 2 GT card.
I found that the compatible ones are

nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-71.86.04
. When i try to install the drivers i get the following mesage
[HTML]
"mpla mpla mpla unresorvable dependencies...."
nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx:
Depends: nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx-71.86.04 but it is not installable
[/HTML]

So i found that this file is on my Synpatic list and its called "nvidia-kernel-legacy-71xx" and i installed that but i still gewt the same error log

what to doooo???

Apt-get install the linux-headers belonging to your kernel. Kernel headers version must have exactly the same version number as your running kernel.
gives you this version.
Go to nvidia.com and d/l the latest legacy driver which supports your GPU. Especially if you are running kernel 2.6.26 it MUST be the latest, otherwise it won't compile.
Aa root:
substitute jadajada so the correct file name is called. If it fails, post back, including the error log which shows up in /var/log/. Later when I am behind another machine I can check the correct version number of that legacy driver.
