Do you have compiled the nvidia-glx? What I do to compile my nvidia drivers is: First of all download your kernel source or header. Afterwards you can use make-kpkg modules_image. With the nvidia-glx, after downloading it, it will be in /usr/src/nvidia-glx-****/, so if you go to that directory you'll be able to do: "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakerrot -uc -us" When it's finished You'll find the nvidia-glx-****.dev in the /usr/src/ directory and you'll be able to install it. > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
