Driver NVidia
I am using Slackware 10 and kernel 2.6.9.
Trying to install NVidia driver i get this error: ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. I installed the driver using 2.6.7 without any problem but now i can not, and i have to load "nv" driver. Thank you in advance. |
Is /usr/src/linux pointing to 2.6.9

OOPS, no!
Sorry! :eek: |

Is /usr/src/linux pointing to 2.6.9 -----------quote i don't think that link is used to locate the sources. 2 weeks ago i installed nvidia-drivers on my pc, with a 2.6.9 kernel. the kernel-sources are in my home-dir, and " /usr/src/linux " still points to the old kernel. the nvidia driver did install with no problems. i think the link " /lib/modules/2.6.9/build " or the link " /lib/modules/2.6.9/source" is used. egag |
Nvidia driver 6111 doesn't compile properly with 2.6.9 kernel. I'd suggest you move to the latest 6629 version.
It is not necessary you link "linux" to the kernel sources. Just check your /lib/modules/2.6.9/build is pointing to the kernel sources of the kernel you have loaded. Hope this helps Ciao |
Ok, i made all the links and here they are:
