This afternoon I did a live dist-upgrade of kubuntu from Dapper to Edgy, sort of prompted by this question of howto install Nvidia binaries. I had been meaning to either switch back to Mandriva or upgrade to Edgy for quite a while--anyway doing that upgrade jogged my memory about what it takes to install the Nvidia binary. You will almost certainly need the *full* linux-source package installed. I had kernel headers installed after the upgrade was completed, but it didn't appear to satisfy the nvidia-installer. The nvidia-installer complained about not finding something like kernel.h until the full sources package for kernel 2.6.17 was both installed and configured--and just saving the default kernel configuration shipped by kubuntu wouldn't do. I didn't get past this missing ____.h file problem until I did a make of the kernel and modules. Then nvidia-installer installed and I was able to use the old xorg.conf I had carried over from Dapper.
