Hello, folks.
Basically, I download the nvidia driver using YOU. After some time I eventually get the signal that the install went OK.
However, I'm not getting 3D support. Every time I try to update the driver, and then go to enable 3D, I'm told that 3D is not supported and I have to reinstall the driver. I've selected Update in YOU several times, now, and each time it says the install went through just fine. I've tried restarting my system, as well, with no success. I've tried also
" 2) Use the nvidia installer for 1.0-7174.
modprobe agpgart
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1.run -q
3) Configure X.Org with
sax2 -m 0=nvidia (0 is a digit, not a letter!) "
and there was no result. Yes, that is not the latest nvidia driver but my video card is an old one and that's the last nvidia driver which supports it. Through the installation of 7174 I get the message " No precompiled kernel modules found..."(in the nvidia website) and the build process of the kernel module sends this error (/var/log/nvidia-installer.log):
make[4]: *** [/tmp/selfgz10768/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.

-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
Any ideas?
