Can't install nvidia drivers version 1.0-8178*:
*Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface - - License
accepted. - - There appears to already be a driver installed on
your system (version: 1.0- 7664). As part of installing this
driver (version: 1.0-8178), the existing driver will be
uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a
bort installation) (Answer: Yes) - - No precompiled kernel
interface was found to match your kernel; would you li ke the
installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your
kernel f rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)?
(Answer: Yes) - - No matching precompiled kernel interface was
found on the NVIDIA ftp site; this means that the installer will
need to compile a kernel interface for your kernel. - -
Performing CC test with CC=cc. - - Kernel source path:
'/usr/src/linux' - - Kernel output path: '/usr/src/linux' - -
Performing rivafb check. ERROR: Your kernel was configured to
include rivafb support!
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please
reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then try
installing the NVIDIA kernel module again. ERROR: Installation
has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log'
for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation
problems in the README available on the Linux driver download
page at www.nvidia.com.
beside the error message beeing *crystal* clear, we don't support
closed source binary drivers
closing
I know it's crystal, it's all about compiling for rivafb support! And
don't tell me that i can make my custom kernel!
This rivafb support on Debian kernel start on 2.6.14 and still exist
on 2.6.15.
For my servers boxes it's great, but for my desktop boxes no.
Is there a way that server boxes and game boxes are both happy!?
Many thanks.
