Just got a new 8400GS for my frontend and am trying to get it functional on R5.5. Initially, I tried using the install-nvidia-debian.sh script as per tjc's hints/tips but this failed. Code: # install-nvidia-debian.sh 173.14.09 /usr/local/bin/install-nvidia-debian.sh: BEGIN dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove nvidia-glx-legacy which isn't installed. dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove nvidia-kernel-legacy-2.6.23-chw-4 which isn't installed. dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove nvidia-glx which isn't installed.

Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.

FIXED it myself! Here is the solution: Code: $ cd /lib/modules/2.6.23-chw-4 # mv source source-hide # mv build build-old # ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.23-chw-4/ build That did it! Now the drivers installed without complaining at all. Code: # sh /home/mythtv/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run -a
...just out of curiosity, can I get a deb of the new driver from somewhere and use the debian install script? |
