nvidia drive problem on slack 12.0


hi,

I'm using a slack 12.0 machine with a self-compiled kernel v2.6.22. Neither nvidia framebuffer nor nvidia riva support are compiled in. My graphics card is a geforce ti 4800.

Compiling the nvidia driver works:
Code:
# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run -k $(uname -r)
But afterwards the module is not loadable:
Code:
# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.22/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): No such device
# ls /lib/modules/2.6.22/kernel/drivers/video/
console/  fb.ko  nvidia.ko
# lsmod

Hi,

GeForce Ti 4800 is supported by legacy driver (1.0-9639).
