I upgrade my 2.4.22 kernel to 2.6.5-grsec and now I can't use the nvidia driver. I got the ones from minion.de but they still don't work. GLX won't load and after that I did nvidia-installer and it is gone completely. When I run the installer it says about some nvidia.ko and the kernel sources. I do have the kernel sources in /usr/src/linux (I do have a symlink to linux-2.6.5) but it still doesn't work. It tells me to use --kernel-source-path, how do I use it? Is it sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-4496-pkg0.run --kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.5???

Note: I am using 4496 because I get slow FPS with the latest driver.

Thanks in advance,

Slow fps may be better than no frames per second. I find the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-5336.html works well with a 2.6 kernel but older drivers don't.

You have to reinstall NVIDIA drivers EACH TIME you recompile your kernel AND sometimes after you upgrade XFree86.

In Slack the kernel source should be this..........
with the linux directory being a symlink to a directory of a
particular kernel version.........IE......

True, but /usr/src/linux won't exist by default unless you create it explicitly. To use the same example, you would want to set up a symbolic link to the new directory:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.26 /usr/src/linux
