..on kernel 2.6.x . I just recently compiled an uber-customized kernel for my computer and when I try to compile NVIDIA's drivers for my GeForce FX 5900 it can't compile a kernel interface saying that it can't find a certain kernel header file which doesn't exist for either my 2.4.22 kernel which came with my slackware distro and it installed for or my new kernel. HELP!!! (I can still use my computer on the old kernel, but I would like to have a non-VESA GUI for the new kernel)

My computer's stats:
Athlon XP 3200+
1GB DDR RAM
Gigabyte K7-Triton GA-7N400-L (nForce2 chipset)
nVidia GeForce FX 5900 (256mb)
dual boot w/ winXP home

I'm stumped.

Any help (even a sorry can't be helped) would be nice!!!

try these

select one of them, and try to install it ...
i had to use these as the ones on nvidias site would not work for me either ...
these are 2.6.x ready nvidia drivers ...

anyways, it won't hurt to try them ;-)

Which headers can't it find? The ones glibc was compiled against should be in /usr/include and the ones for your current kernel it should be able to find through a symbolic link from /lib/modules/<version>/build which points at the kernel source. I think that symbolic link is made when you do make modules_install. Did you download the new version of the nvidia driver for the 2.6 kernel?

Thanks, DrOzz, the new drivers worked.
