Hi, I'm running kernel version 2.6.15 from backports (2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp) Then I tried to build the nvidia kernel module after dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.15-1...(also from backports) when trying to build the nvidia-kernel-source (following the instructions in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source I got: cannot open perl script "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-1/scripts/setlocalversion" The "scripts" folder seems not to exist in linux-headers anymore (vs. for older kernels the package was called: kernel-headers)
Then I tried the module-assistant: it first went all well until "(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) in /var/log/XFree86.0.log Trying a manual "modprobe nvidia" says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules# modprobe nvidia nvidia: Unknown symbol register_ioctl32_conversion nvidia: Unknown symbol unregister_ioctl32_conversion FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp/nvidia/nvidia. ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) (I was wondering were the nvidia-glx-ia32 might come in - but it did not fix the problem...) Then I decided to go for a new version of the nvidia - 7174 from sarge might be rather old anyway ... so I googled and found http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/dists/unstable/nvidia-graphics-drivers/binary-amd64/ BAD idea !! In deselect it now complains that libc6 needs >= 2.3.5-1 So: I hope I can undo this ... Any hint on where I can get a working (new) nvidia module for (any) rather new kernel !?
