Hi , my friends.

I try to install the Drivers in my Slackware 12.2 but i have compile problems

extract tail fron nvidia-installer.log

make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/selfgz2879/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1/usr/src/n
v] Error 2
make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make: *** [module] Error 2
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.

here is what you need to do go to http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=nvidia&sv=12.2
get the package there nvidia has a patch for the 2.6.27 kernel. do not do it like i did and spend hours reading on nvidia patch files.just go here build it. if the nvida configure program does not install with the modules do like I did. cd /tmp/ nvida build file and run nvidia installer. this has to be done in runlevel 3 and as root. reboot have fun. so after you build the module and pktool it in. if you do not have the nvidia setings tool such as nvidia-setting and nvidia-xorgconf. then do like I said runlevel 3 as root cd /tmp and the name of your kernel build file. there you will see the compiled package. type ./nvidia-installer and then it is all as usuall. on my upgrade I did not have to do this because nvidias bionary tools were already installed but on a new install I had to do the plus remove gspca_main black list it then compile max's gspca to get my old cam to work good luck. I guess the reason why it did not install with the module is the build scripts.

thanks my friend drakeo , I follow your recomendation but errors again.

It seems your card is supported by this driver

No patches are necessary, it's a beta driver but it works fine for me
Hope this helps
Ciao

I resolve:

1- Link in /boot vmlinuz, System.map y config to
System.map -> System.map-huge-2.6.27.7
config -> config-huge-2.6.27.7
vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-huge-2.6.27.7

2- rc.modules -> rc.modules-2.6.27.7
3- In the /extra folder:
patch-to-non-smp.sh
chmod +x patch-to-non-smp.sh
./patch-to-non-smp.sh

4- http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122423 (10x Urka58)

5- Installl the drivers and ready

I have a single CPU non SMP, FX 5950U AGP video
