After getting WINE for my previous post to this list, I've decided to install
a driver for my graphics card. However, It hasn't been plain sailing at all,
pretty much as far from it as possible!
To start off with some background info:
[blueprint@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.11-6mdk
[blueprint@localhost blueprint]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.11.6mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-source-stripped-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk
Now, I follow the instructions to install the driver (log out of X, telinit 3
etc...). I then run the driver installation which starts off ok, but it
cannot find a precompiled kernel interface on my computer, nor a matching one
on their servers, so the installer begins to build a kernel interface. The
progress bar gets to 100% but then errors saying ERROR: Unable to build the
NVIDIA kernel module.
No matter what I do I can't get past this point. I've tried an older driver
version, but it conflicts with rivafb.
Any ideas? The following is the output of the nvidia installation log:
