Unable to install NVIDIA 169.12 graphics driver
Hello all the linux users out there
there is a situtation here: i loaded back track 3 in my comp and intitially there was a problem with x server being starting up ...... then i figured out that i need to use vesa driver to make it work with further searching i found that i have to do a patch-to-non-smp as the new graphics driver that i had downloaded (169.12) did not work and gave the following error that no pre compiled kernel interface was found then i loaded a kernel 2.6.25.1 and then doing the installation of the NVIDIA graphics driver i got the following error ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure you either have configured kernel sources matching your kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed on your system. If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux can u plz suggest the solution for it |
