nvidia driver and 2.6.0-test11 kernel
 

Hi

I have just downloaded and compiled 2.6.0-test11 kernel, booted it and when I try to install NVIDIA drivers I get this error:

ERROR: The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.0-test11/build/include/linux/modversions.h'
does not exist. The most likely reason for this is that the kernel header files in '/lib/modules/2.6.0-test11/build/include' have not been configured.

I have installed the latest modutils too.

Do you have any clue how do I solve this problem?
Thx

Have you applied the Nvidia patches from http://www.minion.de ?

ff

I've applied the patches from www.minion.de, then compiled the module called nvidia.ko and it works fine, I can modprobe it withou any problems. The problem is that when I startx I get this message:
(I have Xconfiguration file configured properly, it used to work with 2.4 kernel and nvidia.o module)
