Well for me compiling has worked just fine when I use module assistant (and have gcc-4.0 installed since that is what the debian 2.6.12 kernels use and hence require, unless you rebuilt it with 3.4 or someone else did). apt-get install gcc-4.0 (just in case you didn't already) m-a -t prepare (sets up kernel headers and build essentials and such) m-a a-i -t nvidia (builds and installs the module and it's dependancies) Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
