I just spent a couple of days messing with the Nvidia installer on a new computer running Woody (2.4.18-bf2.4). Here is what I did to get X to run: I had to apt-get kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4. I also grabbed kernel-source-2.4.18-bf2.4 though I am not sure it was necessary. I then ren the installer with options pointing to my headers and install path: # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run \ --kernel-include-path=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include/ \ --kernel-install-path=/lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4/kernel/drivers/video/ I then used "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" to configure xfree86. In particular to select the xserver as nvidia, remove the dri and Glcore modules and add the glx module. Following this: # modprobe nvidia Last, I added "nvidia" to /etc/modules Everything works fine now. Hope this helps.
