riorama Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 ok , Ive read the install for nvidia module, and have had success with it in 9.1/9.2. But now I'm installing 10mdk, and have run into a horrible and confusing problem with no real answer. Help! Ive urpmi'd kernel-source, binutils, and gcc. su, init 3, NVIDIA-~.run, and when it goes to compile the kernel module, I get this. "The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/build/include/linux/modversions.h' does not exits. The most likely readon for this is that the kernel header files in '/lib/modules/2.6.3-4mdk/build/include' have not been configured." What the? How do I? Hey, whats going on here? Have you (anyone) run into this same problem? Grrrrrr. Ive read the nvidia page on linuxz download/install, which matches (more or less) the howto on mandrakeusers, and that not the way things are going. I'm very confused.

riorama Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Alright, I got it. It's the newer NVidia~.run with the same instructions. Dang, I'm stupid. BTW, incase anyone else hasnt done it, the newer nvidia driver for 2.6.x kernel support is sweet. Unreal is unreal. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chin808 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 My 3d was tight in 9.2, but now that I have been using 10 its choppy to the point where its completely futile to try and play a game. I cant even get znes to play smooth. I have a tired tnt2ultra but it was fine in 9.2. Did you notice any 3d degredation initially in 10? I have a feeliing I need to get the new nvidia drivers.

Ixthusdan Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Go to cooker. Your cd might be bad, either burn or download. The sources were fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
