Which Linux NVIDIA driver to download?
I am trying to install a Linux driver for my NVIDIA GTS2 Geforce video card. Their site lists RPM, RPMS, and tar files for non-RPM systems. I should use the tar file, right? __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/

Either that or get the Debian nvidia-glx-src and nvidia-kernel-src packages from the package pool (in contrib). These will download the correct files for the driver and kernel-patch and (with some manual intervention on your part) create debian packages for the driver and kernel module. Bob

Surprisingly painless for a non-free fudge :p

Very sweet -Chris Make sure you've got a kernel source tree, with a valid .config other wise this won't work, you allready have this if you've built your own kernel or you can get the headers for the standard debian kernel by installing kernel-headers-2.?.?-??? Of course you need kernel source to build kernel modules BLUSHtook me a week to figure that out, /BLUSH ;-) Joel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
