The only thing I had to do was: 1. Install kernel-headers apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) 2. Create a sym link that points to the headers ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-$(uname -r) /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build 3. Install Nvidia drivers. Just execute NVIDIA-Linux-x86-*.*-****-pkg1.run and it will build the driver. I've done this on every kernel I've used since 2.4. -- Nobody likes sunburn slappers. -- B. L.
