Not sure its that simple. If you load the debian nvidia-kernel-source package then there are instructions, not related to the installer in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source.

What version of the kernel are you using? I am convinved I have seen a post somewhere that said that they had some missing symbols when using the k7 version of the kernel (ie 2.6.0-1-k7) and not when they used the vanilla kernel (ie 2.6.0-1). I have missing symbols and 2.6.0-1-k7 as the kernel I have searched all over for this post - but can't find it. I am sure it was on debian-user, and probably within the last three weeks. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Anyone know? I am having trouble - I patched the driver with the 2.6 patch and then rebuilt it into a deb which I then installed. When the module tries to load (as XFree tries to start up when kdm is started) I get an entry in syslog as invalid module format.
