Ok. So this is what you have to do: Install kernel-source, which should be the same as the kernel running.
cd /usr/src tar -jxf kernel-source-[your kernel] ln -s kernel-source-[your kernel dir] linux cd linux make menuconfig
Choose "load an alternative conf" -> /boot/config-[your kernel] Exit and save
Now go on with the installation of nvidia. As I said, this sux. Don't buy nvidia.
I did, and I won't do it again. ATI seem to help XFree86 with drivers.
Just ask if I didn't make my self understandable. :-)

Hello for the 3rd time today,
I've downloaded the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glc-src and read the documentation. You have to give a command wich gives this result:
We do not seem to be in a top level linux kernel source directory tree. Since we are trying to make a kernel package, that does not make sense. Please change directory to a top level linux kernel source directory, and try again. (If I am wrong, and this is indeed a top level linux kernel source directory, then I have gotten sadly out of date with current kernels, and you should upgrade kernel-package)
So I downloaded the kernel-source-2.4.18 and installed that package. I searched my computer but I can't find the correct directory. I still get this message.
Does someone know where to find this directory/how to install the nvidia drivers?
HTH, Willem-Jan Meijer
