Nvidia installation (nvidia-kernel-source)

2004-10-22 Thread Philippe Dhont (Sea-ro) 


Hello,

I'm pretty new to driver installations.
I downloaded with apt-get nvidia-kernel-source and now it is in my
/usr/src path.
How do i install it ?

Grtz,
Phil.

phil,

you should check out http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net .
they have a section all about kernel compiling (and add on modules).

if you have any specific questions after that, let us know.

I wrote a short howto last time I installed nvidia onto a few new sarge 
installations. Maybe you can use some of it:

# Make sure you contrib and non-free are included in your lines
# in /etc/apt/sources.list. E.g.:
#
deb http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.dk.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free


## If kernel 2.4.x
#
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686 nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-686


## If kernel 2.6.x
#
# Update available package list.
#
sudo apt-get update

# Get the packages needed for installation of the nvidia driver.
# In this example I assume that you already run the 2.6.7 kernel
# (-1-386 revision) and there must choose the 2.6.7 kernel sources.
#
sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-package \
 kernel-source-2.6.7 nvidia-glx nvidia-glx-dev \
 nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-source

# Make yourself owner of everything in /usr/src. Make it a
# habbit not compiling as root, since you don't really need to.
#
chown -R frederik:frederik /usr/src  (execute as root)
cd /usr/src
tar jxvf kernel-source-2.6.7.tar.bz2
tar zxvf nvidia-kernel-source.tar.gz
ln -sf kernel-source-2.6.7 linux
cd linux
cp /boot/config-2.6.7-1-386 .config
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version -1-386 modules_clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version -1-386 modules_image
sudo dpkg -i \
 ../nvidia-kernel-2.6.7-1-386_1.0.6111-1+10.00.Custom_i386.deb
depmod -a

# Configure the X server
# - deselect the 'GLcore' and 'dri' modules
# - make sure 'glx' is being loaded
# - use 'nvidia' as driver instead of 'nv'

Hello, if that way fails , the nvidia installer is working good , just 
install it with kernel headers and it is ok. Download from nvidia.com.
Then:

apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r`
(when not running X)
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6111-pkg1.run
then play.
(May be you should apt-get install build-essential  , for missing build 
tools...)
