Well things do get outdated after a while (in the case of nvidia-glx-src that one must be many years out of date.) > The second one, there was a problem. Because the makefile differed from > the tutorial (apt-get nvidia-kernel-source) There is no makefile changes required ever that I have encountered. That one must ask you to do something really weird. > So the nvidia installer was the only way, how it worked fine. apt-cache search nvidia apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source zless /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README* That is THE document on how to do it. After all that is the README included in the package which trumps all other howto's on the matter. Of course I have also done it this way: apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source m-a prepare -t nvidia-kernel m-a build -t nvidia-kernel m-a install -t nvidia-kernel dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 (and pick nvidia instead of nv as driver). > Okay this shouldn't be done under Debian, but for a newbie it is very > difficulty to do that without some informations. > > Just my 5 pence.
