SuSE 10 & NVidia Graphics Drivers


OK, so this may seem like a really stupidly easy thing to install but I've managed get to stuck somewhere and its doing my soft little head in...

I have the .run installer from the NVidia website and I'm running it in runlevel 3 so that X isnt running with the command:

sh ./Nvidia-driver-filename.run -q (This is the command that the NVidia site gives me for the installation on SuSE distros)

The installer then starts up and complains that it find/run/compile (i cant remember) a file named nvidia.ko or something and says that it needs the package 'kernel-source' to be installed.

The problem is that 'kernal-source' is already install as I had foreseen the requirement of if and got it from the installation cds. The installer is now asking for me to specify where the kernel source files are so I can lead it straight to them but I don't know where they are.

Anyone fancy telling me?

I need to get my fix of TuxRacer!

hello,

Did you execute the command in a terminal window in X or on a text console?

greetings,

Ronald
