There seems to be no .config option to get the kernel module built. The up-to- date Debian nvidia-legacy71xx kernel module will build using m-a just fine. However, the Debian X.Org driver for this is not installable either (better than pretending to install and fail like Nvidia's own!). I assume that the old git code for the Xorg Nouveau driver has the same problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
