Updated: nvidia problems.
 
those who have seen my previous problem thread know my problem: i do my best to get nvidia working under kernel 2.6.14

last thread it failed under sh NVIDIA.run
after building i got an error in that
i bypassed it bye using --kernel-name=2.6.14.3-xeon parameter.

but now, it completely crashes when i execute "startx".

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?:scratch:

Verify the following:

- Do you have the kernel headers (source files) installed in /usr/src/linux?
- Did you upgrade your GCC version in between your kernel compilation and your nvidia compilation? If so, do this:
'export CC=/path/to/old/gcc'
and then try again.

Other than that, check that the module loads correctly and check output from dmesg to see whats going on.

Good luck!

i compiled the kernel my own, so i guess the headers are in ;)
and i did no GCC upgrades.

Could you provide more debug information? Like.. XServer error messages (in /var/log) and perhaps some relevant messages from dmesg. Also post your kernel release (which version you're using) and which version of the nvidia drivers you're using.
