Unhappy Problem with NVIDIA drivers

Hello all.

I got serius problem with instalation NVIDIA driver. I downloaded driver form www.nvidia.com. Then i go to the init 3 and start instaling driver. Then i see this error:

WARNING: Your kernel was configured to include rivafb as a loadable kernel module.
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA; the NVIDIA kernel module will still be bulit and instaled but be aware that NVIDIA driver will not be able to funcion propely if the rivafb module is loaded.

ERROR
Unable to bulid the NVIDIA kernel module.
Instalation has failed.

I really dont know how to deal with that . I think i need to uninstal rivafb module but im now sure . Pliz help.

You need to recompile the kernel without rivafb support. Theres a kernel compile sticky at top of forum. I recommend doing a make xconfig or make menuconfig if it's your first time.

*edit- the kernel compile sticky is in the slackware forum

the Warning is not the error
you need to show us /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
it said to look at that file
it's a good idea to at least try to figure it out on your own

Hmm doesn't show any other erros so I presume it is the rivafb thing. The link for kernel compile instructions is here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=127095

Having said that you should really know what hardware etc you have to compile properly or you could wreck the system and need a reinstall of the old kernel so be warned.
